any help here....trying to find the best price for my 2500 HD

 

 

 

 

IMHO, I wouldn't waste the money. I would go out and get some Spicer components. They may not be as large as the Fabtechs but they are way better than stock which is the same claim that fabtech makes. Also, Fabtech says that they reduce the turning radius on some trucks. Spicer makes great suspension components and you don't have to go out and rob a bank to get them. :driving:

Spicer you can get at NAPA, Tell them you want the Spicer Chassis components. They sell them under the NAPA name but they are Spicer Part Numbers. I think you get the cognito stuff right from them but I'm not to sure :cheers:

BTW napa says they do not carry these spicer products anymore

 

 

 

 

I don't know what moron you spoke with at NAPA but here are the part numbers you want. Inner Tie Rod-NCP-269-3124($42.99 Ea) and Outer Tie Rod-NCP-269-3171($54.99 Ea). NCP stands for Napa Chassis Part and they are Spicer parts. I have a set of these in my garage. You will need two of each number(L&R).These numbers are listed on their website and the store up here told me they are available. Hope this helps. :cheers:

The Spicer ones are the same size as stock. The difference lies in the ball joint part of the tie rod end. The Spicer is a little larger and lot better made. The part numbers listed above are the Spicer numbers. I have called Dana/Spicer and they confirmed that those are the right numbers. I would just order your parts off the NAPA website and bypass this clown or go to the Dana website(www.dana.com/automotive_solutions/) and find out from them who else besides NAPA sell their stuff. As I said, I have these numbers and they are Spicer Parts. :cheers:

Try ordering off their website. You will then get the right parts. I can't believe the NAPA in your area, they sound like a bunch of idiots. :cheers::cheers:

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.
