Need a new power steering pump

You have many options but everything is made overseas now. Remanufactured is probably your best bet. Buy local.

True story. Every brand I sell, as well as my competitors, is made in china. I have a local guy that rebuilds gear boxes, and if pushed he'll do pumps, and he did one for me, though I don't need it yet. He also says that the crud that is sold by the china manufacturers is so bad, it can't even be used as a core, and the OEM boxes rolling off the manufacturers lines are almost as bad. Good quality parts to rebuild with are drying up as well.... :(

Thanks for all the input. I don't have the ability to change out the pump. I can buy a new Lares from Rock Auto at 1/2 what O'reilley charges so going with that. Problem is they offer a 1 and 2 bolt for my make/model/year truck. How does one know how many bolts. Cannot see anything due to attachment place.
Thanks

It may cost more, yet I would buy local because it is easier to deal with refunds, exchanges, and other issues. You also save on shipping costs that can be the difference in costs.

Agreed 100%
