So about 2 weeks ago my Dodge lost it's engine. A quarter million miles of heavy hauling finally ended my trucks life lol

So today I went to Oriellys to get a part for my other truck and I remembered I still had parts I bought FOUR YEARS ago to rebuild the front end suspension on the dodge. I inquired on the best way to sell them as they were never used and they said bring em in and we'll inspect them. I went and retrieved the parts and they gave me a 100% refund.

I was in total shock. The parts were still new but the packaging was trashed after 4 years. I did not expect that to even be a remote possibility.

Agreed and totally unexpected. I was just asking to see if there was some online site I could use to get some value out of them. I ended up getting a new catalytic converter for half off.
 
I like O'reilly's for things like oil or windshield wipers.
Can't stand Auto Zone and the their cheap Chinese junk parts.
For serious OEM quality parts I go to NAPA .... :cool:
 
I go to a local mom and pop place that's been around since they start of time. They usually have what I need or can get rather quickly if they don't. We've known them for so long that were at my wedding and my sister's. lol

Never realized what a catalytic converter could do to a vehicle, till I ruined a nice dang Mazda LX king cab (from back when they were real Mazdas, not Ford) pickup, by not having it properly diagnosed until it was too late. Dumb-Assed move on my part.

I worked at a NAPA store for three years in college. Absolutely they sell better quality in general though they have a "Silverline" line which is cheaper.

Yeah, mine just kicked the code a few days ago.
Was gonna just weld on a straight pipe but found out if I did that the o2 sensor would kick a constant code on the dash cluster. Don't wanna deal with that annoying shit.

What are you gonna do with the Dodge?
 
For certain car parts, like an air compressor, I go to the dealership and buy a new OEM one. Yes, it costs more, but it will last a lot longer than the rebuilds that are sold at all the auto parts store. ... :cool:
 
My O'Reilly's has had parts in stock that AutoZone and Advanced Auto and CarQuest have to order. Our NAPA stores have closed. So did our Pep Boys.

I’m guessing white privilege.
