Water Pump MFG

Who manufactures the OEM pump? I see Bosch makes one and was wondering if its the same.

HOORAY for threads with a very specific small question....

Bosch makes every thing for OEM from relays to connecting rods ^so there's a very good chance they do! But I do believe strongly in their product line ^so I would buy theirs over Cardone ect... But I would go MOTORCRAFT if the budget allowed.

I would normally order an OEM from Clay, but I may be getting a credit at one of the online auto parts stores and the brand they carry is Bosch. They are a name I trust, just wanna know if you guys think they WP would be good.

If Airtex does make the Motorcraft water pump (and many say they do), the question is: Does Airtex make the same quality aftermarket water pump not sold under the Motorcraft label?

For all the motorcraft pumps I have seen I haven't seen one that matches the airtex. I know the current ones I stock from Ford are not made by Airtex. If you get one for your credit it sounds like a good deal, but if I had to purchase it would be the OEM.
