Dorman. A wallet with wings
Now, a horrible example is their coolant reservoir for 98-04 Dodge Intrepids and alike. They just don't last and fail in 6 to 8 months, you would be lucky to get 1.5 years out of one of those things. Those coolant bottles are made to be opened, filled, and not to be touched ever again. I had one replaced under warranty, for the second time around, I requested a refund for the cost of the reservoir and I was denied (surprisingly it's only ¼ of the cost of the previously mentioned manifold). They did offer a second replacement bottle, but just reading the reviews on the part, I decided not to get the part (even under warranty) and I just went ahead and bought a genuine Mopar part. 6 years later, I'm now (and I do mean today ) ordering another Mopar coolant reservoir.
Another great part is the aluminum water outlet housing for 2.7L Chrysler engines. For the longest time, such part did not exit. The original part from Chrysler (and Dorman's original aftermarket replacement) was plastic and it would fail and leak every 2 to 4 years. The new metal part has been in my Chrysler car for about 4 years with no signs of trouble. This is my experience with them and I'm sure experiences vary widely.
PS: It seems RPS serves the western part of the US. So, if you live in the other side of the US, that can explain things a little bit more.
