I considered one of the knockoffs, but from reading on here, Im better off to bite the bullet and pay.....
Here are the reasons and why.
Its a 5.9 going in a 87 dakota.
I have to use the serpentine belt system to clear the radiator. V-belt drive goes about 1/2 in or so into the radiator.
I want AC. Its my understanding that the knockoffs will not work with the serpentine system.
I hate paying double, but in the grand scheme of things its 200 more, and from what I have read, trying to use the serpentine and AC with the knockoffs just dont work.
If im wrong on any of this, please tell me.
Also, is $390.95 about the best deal?
Thanks for everyone's input.
