Going to replace the waterpump on a S10 4.3L. These are somewhat high failure item, so I want to get a quality part, not just the best price. Have it down to four brands and interested in forum member' thoughts:

All priced from RockAuto
AC Delco- 44.79
Hytec- 44.89
Bosch- 51.79
Gates- 38.89


Hytec claims they make a highly engineered product, but noticed they now make all their product as part of a Chinese joint venture.
