Replacing Water Pump Part Opinion

[bucknasty07]

So i need to replace my water pump on my 2007 4runner v6 sport. Im trying to save as much as I can but I'm always worried about a part that is obviously way cheaper than "from the factory OEM" parts. I have never dealt with Aisin but from what I'm reading they're good products. Anyone have any good or bad opinions about this water pump? I am NOT willing to trade off performance or high quality parts for a cheaper price. That's just begging for premature failure and extra costs IMO. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

NOTE: OEM Toyota part number I have for water pump is 16100-09471.

I think Aisin are OEM suppliers. I'd have no problem putting their parts on my vehicles. The water pump I put on my v8 during the timing belt change was Aisin, as was all the idlers and the belt tensioner.

Aisin is good to go. They would be my first choice.

Aisin is the way to go.
