Gents - I went through all of this about a month ago with Rob from Needswings. At the time I was asking him about the differences between the OEM, the Johnson and the Bosch 010, he was only carrying the Johnson and the Bosch 003 and said he had been selling the 003 for 7 years with no problems of failures. I ran across the Bosch 010 and asked Rob about them and he hadn't seen them. He ordered one and did a flow test between the 003 and the 010 and he said they flowed at the same rate - about 3.25 gpm. I was interested in using the latest Bosch pump (the 010) because I didn't want to modify my wiring nor did I want to modify my bracket. Rob did not have the Bosch 010 pumps in stock at the time so I ordered it from Amazon for about $110 plus shipping. It is a perfect match in body size, inlet/outlet size, wiring and connector. I have pictures of the two pumps in my gallery showing the comparison. You will have no problems with the Bosch 010, but I have no idea how long it will last since I have only had it in for a little over a month. Curiously, though, the pump I pulled out of my 2005 stock SRT was a Bosch 003. I have only had the car a few months so I have no idea if this was the original pump or if it had been changed before I bought it.

On a side note, when you go to change it out, disconnect the outlet hose first and let the coolant drain through the old pump into a clean bucket (if you don't use the method of pinching the hoses). I found it easier to manipulate the angle of the pump to get the fluid in the bucket rather than try to hold the inlet hose until the coolant finished draining. Also - don't forget to chock the drivers rear tire. Once that rear passenger wheel comes off the ground, the car could roll/shift.

Enjoy your full use S/C!!
