Default Need advice

78, changing the blower motor, I already have the larger fan for a C4. NAPA, Autozone and O'Reilly' all have the motor only. NAPA is a Balkamp, BK6551976, AZ is a VDO, PM105 and O's is a Murray, PM105. it appears AZ and O's are the same manufacturer based on the PN. I just don't know if one is better than the other. There is a $1.00 difference so money is not the problem. Any input is greatly appreciated. I don't want the motor failing in a year or so.

Thanks Bill

That could happen regardless of your choice. Of the three, which has the best guarantee?
