Damn, $40!!!. For $50 you can get one from global west that's surely stronger than the factory piece.

Exactly!

Heating your water to the point of steam rising makes it just as hot as letting it boil. Enough is enough, why pay more?

I bought mine used for 25 bux. Check around (with our supporters) and you'll find what your looking for without spending more than you have to.

The part has been discontinued from GM so the GMPartsDirect folks won't have it.
