I have to agree 100% here

my thought on this is if your questioning why one is cheaper, just got ahead and buy the more expensive one. This applys to WEARABLE parts only

Pittman arms tend to stay in good condition if the truck hasn't been abused. Idler I'd swap with everything else.

There ya go. I don't know how they stay in business, because you only need to buy their products once. I guess they can always get you again on the next vehicle....

Contrary to popular belief, Moog stuff wears out too. While better than most other brands, the quality ain't what it used to be a lot of the time.

I've heard this before too. If I remember correctly, about 12 or 15 years ago they were bought out by another company. Seems as though they bought the rights to the brand name and let quality slide a little. The last couple years however, I hear more and more people recommending them again. Hopefully they've got their act back together.
