Well worth the extra $20 for the most critical engine management sensor on the engine. I just ordered one for my 99 from moparpartsonline for $50.49 plus $14 shipping.

I must have gotten real lucky when I bought mine for $10 on ebay. I bought it before I became a member to this forum and read all the horror stories about the after market brands. I will keep my fingers crossed that it wont go bad on me. It's been about 6 months since the change out so far.
