I have just had terrible luck with aftermarket parts. It seems like they never last as long as the original did. For this reason, I always try to get motorcraft parts.

Hi Andy,
For the most part I can't complain! I've had pretty good luck. Some things after market are actually better,than OEM and other things aren't. The thing I've had to change most of all is power window motors! The only problem to me with the Booster was I wasn't quite sure exactly how it's suppose to act,(I do now) It's another notch in my belt on doing my own wrenching on my truck and it does save me money in the long run! I read some post while looking for info on boosters and people were crying because their Mechanic wanted $400 to change out a bad booster and they didn't want to pay it! So even with my trouble how much did I save?
