Don't waste your time with autopartsdealer.com. They might have a vast listing and low-ball prices, but they'll keep moving your shipping date further and further back. Can't deliver the goods, and put charges on your credit card as soon as you place an order, not when the item actually ships. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like stuff like that. Stay with the real merchants, particularly with the sponsors of the various forums.

 

My belief is now that they priced the item too low by mistake and kept moving the delivery date back in hopes that I would cancel the order, which I did.

UPDATE: Had no problem getting a credit card refund from these folks on that order. Might be a little hesitant to order something else, though.

Yup very good prices.

Good to know about that place! I was about to order a MIT from them since they had the lowest price. But I went ahead and order thru Summit Racing since they price match their competitors. :)

Well............let it never be said that I would let my feelings get in the way of a good deal. I'm gonna apologize about what I said earlier, because I gave autopartsdealer dot com another chance and they redeemed themselves. Last Sat. (Nov 13) I ordered an Airaid MIT from them because they were $20 cheaper and had free UPS shipping. They gave me a shipping date of Nov 16 and I just got it in my hot little hands (Nov18). That sure makes up for the other snafu. Guess I'll have to be a fanboy now.

 

I guess, just keep on top of your orders.

BUMP

 

I just got burned by this company this past week. I ordered front and rear sway bar bushing kits for my Avalanche from them for $44.30 shipped, which was much cheaper than many other stores. A few days later, I received an eMail from them explaining that they incorrectly labeled the sale price on their website and required another $17.44 from me.

 

So then their price of $61.74 became more expensive than just about everywhere. I went back to their website and added the two bushing kits to my cart again. I noticed that the prices had changed, but the total with shipping only came out to $52.10... WTF!?!

 

After waiting on hold for about ten minutes, they told me that they had already canceled the order and that I would receive my refund soon. Well today, I finally got my refund, but only $30.02, not the $44.30 I originally paid.

 

STAY AWAY!

I recently noticed that they only offer "free shipping" on orders OVER $75.00. Let's all go somewhere else.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
