transfer case shift motor

I need to put one in a '08. Are aftermarket motors any good or Should I just get one from Ford ?

I guess no one has had trouble with one so this is what happened. Ford wanted $350 for one, no way. Checked 2 auto parts stores and both of them wanted around $225, once again, no way. That left Ebay $76, one year warranty and free shipping. I know you get what you pay for but I can buy five Ebay motors to Fords one and I'll just bet one of those $225 parts store motors would be the same thing as I got because I can't imagine there could be more than a couple aftermarket mfgr's out there.
Pay close attention to the plug because there are different ones and you can't change the end. Adjusting it wasn't hard once I figured out which way to turn it and so far it works fine.
