Default Throttle Position Sensor

Anyone know where to get a good deal on a tps? For some reason places like autozone are showing two different styles as fitting a c5? These cheaper ones, https://www.autozone.com/engine-mana...ps-/103892_0_0 and then the one like on my car, https://www.autozone.com/engine-mana...uestid=3191020 but I would rather not pay $130

Don't recall asking his opinion but Aite.. Never said I want to. Buy the cheapest offbrand from rockauto either.. Just looking for a decent deal.. Especially when it's just a tps.

I've used Duralast throttle position sensors on some of my other GM vehicles with no problems. Sometimes the pictures on their web site do not exactly match the part, so either take a picture or your TPS or take it down with you to match it up. I just recently bought a Duralast TPS from AutoZone for my 05 ZR2 and it was better quality than the Delco part plus lifetime warranty and much cheaper so it was an easy decision for me.
