Water pump brand name reviews (4.0 OHV Ranger)

[DaytonCarCare]

I was looking for a water pump to order (OHV 4.0)

Looking at an OAW brand but found a bad review,
so I order one made by Magneti Marelli.

I'm familiar with the name for parts for a FIAT and Jaguar I owned in the past.
I wasn't aware they made parts for domestic or America made cars.

Has anyone tried one of these pumps before?
Or what is a common good brand name recommended from long time TRS members?

Happy Holidays Everyone.

OEM generally cost more, I have been using autozone Duralast brand products for several years now. They seem to hold up fine and they do stand behind their lifetime warranty, no questions asked.

I have great luck with GMB water pumps for my old BMWs . That is what I'm gonna look for, next WP I need.

i tend this route as well because az is all over hell. but they are not tip top quality.

on my powerstroke i had a international pump fail in 4 months....and the az pump that replaced it.... because the international dealer would not stand behind their pump...... lasted more years then the oem pump....but less miles.


on my ford v8s they would take a beating but replaced every year from over revving and overheating....easy to do though.


on my 2.9 and 4.0 engines no issues....i always get their high end pump.
