OK, I need to do the water pump/timing belt thing. Just picked up a Goodyear timing belt from Carquest for $25. Dealer is $52 for the belt, a little steep me thinks. Are Goodyear belts anygood? Should I look for a cheap price on a OEM belt?

Some people here say they use the Motorcraft OEM waterpump to replacement. Do these have the plastiv vanes like the original pump? Is there a brand of waterpump that is better then OEM?

Thanks...
