Some aftermarket’s work fine others don’t. What is wrong with the stock throttle body? If it’s worn shaft bushings most machine shops can fix that.

If the cheaper throttle body has a warranty on it, I say go for it. Right now I have a $60 starter from Amazon, that was new, not rebuilt, on my 03 S10 Pick Up. It's been working fine for the past two years. I also have a $75, new radiator, not used or anything like that, on the truck that I got from Ebay back in April. It's been working fine too. My local auto parts store wanted over $200 for a rebuilt starter and over $100 for a radiator. So like I said, I'd go for it. Hope that helps! Jim
