Another Right Rear Wheelspeed Sensor Issue (please advise)

Hey Everyone!

I have a very similar issue to the OP on this thread (https://www.tundras.com/threads/please-help-2016-rear-speed-sensor-issue.14279/#post-3781322)

I had this exact same issue happen a couple of months ago. Driving in the rain, pressed the brakes and suddenly the dash lights up like a christmas tree. ABS, traction control, 4hi, 4lo. The free scanners at auto zone indicated a wheel speed sensor issue, and I just took it to my local shop (I live in a small town, Dillon, Colorado) for further diagnosis.

They narrowed it down to the rear right wheel speed sensor just like the OP, and are asking for $440 to replace it for parts/labor. (code C0210) I also called the dealership in Denver and they said sometimes this problem stems from the wiring harness as well and could be around $600-700.

After finding this thread I am going to just pay for the diagnosis at my local shop, and replace the rear right sensor myself to start.

My question for you all is, do you recommend strictly purchasing the OEM sensor or would it be sensible to use an aftermarket sensor. Specifically an NGK sensor that comes with 3/year 36k mile warranty. I remember NGK having a good reputation years ago when I was more in the loop.

OEM sensor: $210
NGK sensor: $116

What do you guys think? I appreciate any advice you have, especially if you have dealt with this issue in the past.

Thank you so much for your help and guidance.
