Default looking for some parts

on e-bay today & I see the TPS selling for as little as $15 & as high as $115. I see the same brand from different sellers with a variation as much as $60.

1989 Cherokee 4.0 Auto

Other than MOPAR what brands are you fellows using when replacing things like the TPS, MPS, oxygen sensors, IAC ?

I'm also replacing the fuel pump& sending unit. Those prices are all over the map too.

Got any directions or suggestions?

thanks

I generally don't buy parts on Ebay unless it's an exceptional deal and I can afford to throw it away if necessary.
Get the CPS from the dealer. Other sensors NAPA has been good (for me), cheaper stuff is OK if you are OK with carrying a spare and changing it if need be.
Fuel pump- avoid Airtex. Most others seem OK.

Mopar for almost all sensors... Never any Chinese made sensor from e-bay napa sensor seem to be ok for most people... O2 sensors get NTK same as a mopar sensor fuel pump Bosch I heard where a great pump ..stay away from anything with the airtex name on it and stay away from eBay junk you get what you pay for most of the time hope this helps

I've learned to just pay the few bucks extra and get it from the local parts store. That way if its a bad part or doesn't fit, just return it. I've ordered parts on amazon because they were cheaper only to be sent the wrong part, even though it said it would fit. And It's too much of an as pain to send it back.

BWD makes pretty good sensors from my experience.

This BWD TPS info says I don't need to install & "adjust". Suppose to come pre-set to OM specs.
I thought an adjustment was needed or is that just for manny trannys?
