Rear Main Seal OEM or Felpro

[diezelraccoon]

For my 03 Tahoe 2wd with the 5.3 I’m a bit conflicted on what brand I should get for the rear main seal and retainer gasket. I tend to want to stick OEM especially in a job this big but others are telling me Felpro brand is just as good if not better. I’ve got a local parts place here selling both for $42.99.

What do y’all recommend?

I've been using FelPro one for the 2 jobs I've done, but wouldn't hesitate to use the OEM.

Buy the centering/installation tool.

Because it’s a totally different topic. It’s about OEM vs aftermarket parts for this job.
