2004 1500 Part recommendations

[quick6black]

I have a 2004 Hemi 1500 4x4 automatic that I am trying to bring up to perfect operational standards and there are a few things I am apprehensive to replace with cheap reman parts. I need to replace the power steering rack and was wondering what other users have used that has been a good replacement and not failed prematurely. I also need to replace my oil pan (getting pretty rusty), and am looking for a good aftermarket replacement. Any feedback would be appreciated.

thanks!

I have a reman steering rack. It was replaced using my 3rd party warranty about 5 months ago. Seems to be working fine, and no more leaks. I have no idea about the long term durability, but most of these reman parts are good enough.

Rockauto has good deals on both items you want. I've seen good reviews on their oil pans and steering racks.

The one benefit to a local parts store's remans, are their warranties. Mine has a lifetime warranty so, if it does go bad, I can remove it, swap it out, and put the new reman in on the same day. Just a thought about local parts stores.

thanks for the recommendations, I will check out Rock Auto. I do agree with buying the steering rack locally. I have seen it in stock. Thanks for the help
