need to replace the washer fluid pump on my XJ, RockAuto carries four different brands. I know ac delco is usually for GM vehicles and Anco makes wiper-blades. So out of the four brands, which one should I go with?

 

I would do a junkyard part

 

After looking at them I'd go with the Omix-Ada. It looks like its made a bit better than the others.

 

Non-critical part that rarely fails.. X2 for salvaged replacement.

 

I'd spend the 23 bucks or so and get a new one. Omix ADA

 

The junk yards near me suck, you get an attitude as soon as you walk in and then they're too lazy to look up the part and say "we aint got no XJ's out back". FWIW, I posted my question on another forum and received several suggestions to spend the money and go new so I went with the omix-ada.

 

Yes, junkyards can be tough and want too much. I prefer salvage and part-outs.
Omix-ada is low-mid grade so do not expect them to last 23 years like the stock washer pumps. But it likely has a warranty.

 

For reference, ANCO is a Federal Mogul brand (they operate Moog, National, and I think Sealed Power too). In general I've found Federal Mogul to be quite reliable.

Trico and Omix-Ada are undoubtably rebranded from elsewhere.

AC Delco is indeed the OE for GM parts but they've also spun off a high quality aftermarket line for other makes. I would certainly trust them.

But like mentioned pumps rarely go... Junkyard it

 

They are few and far between in my area. The nearest pick-your-own is 2 hours of nasty traffic from me.

Not worth my time to fight it.
