I do most of the maintenance on the three vehicles we have GMC Envoy 2006 and 2002 and 2013 Equinox LTZ.
Historically buying Autozone brand parts mixed results for sure. Two years later I’m doing the water pump and fan clutch AGAIN for the 02. I use Dextron and keep it changed as needed, but it looks fine. I would certainly like more reliability in replacement parts. Durlast ugh more like Dura-Die. Suggestions are desired from those who know on this great forum for the most reliable source for after market parts with reasonable reliability and longevity. Autozone and their competitors aren't exactly cheap but especially considering a repeat of this repair in 2 years! Sure saving money is important but not having to repeat this so soon is fun either. I don’t mind paying for quality if I can get it.
Got to get the 02 running ASAP.
Appreciate recommendations for suppliers on line or not. I’m looking for quality primarily.
Thanks looking forward to suggestions.
