Fair enough, and a good point;
sometimes it pays to go with oem parts. In this case, since they're back ordered, I'd still suggest a trip to the junkyard (or eBay where someone has probably already pulled and tested it for you - just be sure they're offering a working oem version obviously). If you're a car guy the occasional trek thru the pick-n-pull is a fun, often productive outing.
And one income two kids is tough. Did that as a regional FO for many years after 9/11. Develops character
