I am not doing a total rebuild in the field and yes you are right about those kind of parts. I apologize to the technicians in the group for insulting you and will keep in mind when it comes down to it, we are all kindred spirits and non of us know everything or we wouldn't be on here in the first place. Thanks Ed for finally getting the time to spend your hard earned $0.02. Oh, and what's with the hostility? Sheesh Walked in one mom and pops with a part in my hand and before I could say a word, the old guy behind the counter said "ahh an old style drag link!" The kid next to him said "a what?" lol I find that mom and pops auto parts are usually 1000 times better than the kids working behind the counter at the big name places. It's also about knowing which local parts guys you can trust are knowledgeable on their own and who isn't. In the end, it isn't just about having your own knowledge. Looked up mine and found them on the wall myself.
#NISSAN FORKLIFT DISTRIBUTOR CAP HOW TO#
I gave the store a lesson on how to interchange parts like a belt. I look behind the counter and spot the interchange bookshelf. I then got a dismissive "oh, we're not gonna have that" along with an eye roll. He goes "what kind of car?" I tell him it's not for a car but for a forklift. Popped them on the counter and said "two of these, please". Went to the local PBoys (was working in Staten Island). New machine so the belts had clear part numbers on them. A customer got debris into the engine compartment and snapped both belts (dual belt drive, identical belts). He then got me the parts I needed off his shelf.Īnother 4.3/PepBoys story. Look up a 95 S10 Blazer." Him: "four wheel drive? Air conditioning?" I sarcastically waved my hand and said "surrrrrreeeee, why not?" lol. Walked in and told the guy "I need a cap and rotor for a GM 4.3." He says "what's the year of the car?" I tell him it's in a forklift. One time I needed one and there was a PepBoys up the block from the customer. It's funny that you mentioned the 4.3 Blazer cap Ed. Other than that, like EdwardT said, it's about developing the knowledge with experience to know what you can find locally and what you can't. Napa and Wix have good filter interchanges online If there's a cross, most databases are online. Sometimes I'll just Google the OEM part number. That's a bit more than what I usually sell them for lol. Funny too, if you order SB connectors from Grainger they sell you the ones marked SMH at a ridiculous markup. I use Grainger a lot for certain things like charger parts, switches, computer axial fans, etc when I'm in a pinch. Don't know if that was resolved but, to me, it doesn't matter. I suspected the aftermarket manufacturer used DOT3 seals and didn't realize these cylinders were meant for a DOT5 machine. Luckily on a deadman type truck the result was a -01 (or "BRAK" on 3500's) and no brake release. They held pressure fine when you first bled them but when they sat overnight they lost their prime. Lost a lot of labor money in warranty claims. One example is RR3000 dual master and slave cylinders.
On the flip side of this is my short list of things I only go OEM on.
