Default looking for a reliable power steering pump

what Power steering pumps have worked out well for everyone? The last one I had was a Napa reman and it lasted 1 year. I would like to get a pump that is not a reman, but looks like the ones available at checker & auto zone are.

Try some of that Lucas oil additive. I used some in my old ranger and it helped quiet it down.

As far as I know you can only buy reman pumps for your car from a auto parts store.
