Getting bent over on parts???

offroadin · 12-02-2005, 05:34 PM

I think so.

I just bought my '90 F-250 4x4 a while back (see previous post for pics) and at the time or purchase only the front tank (dual tanks) worked. No a big deal, probably the switch, worst case the sending unit.

Well in the last couple days I pulled out the Tank switch and tested it, checked the wiring and so forth and found the Sending Unit/In-Tank pump to be bad.

So I start phoning around knowing thats its going to cost me since the sending unit and low pressure in-tank pump come all as one part.

Well After phoning about 5 places, the cheapest for the whole unit was $320Cdn.

Needless to say, that has me debating whether I really need to use 2 tanks.

I like to have my vehicle in good working order, not "good enough" for now style.

So I'm checking the local junkyards to see if they ahve a good used one.

Anyone else getting bent over for parts lately???

Well, im going to see what I can find around here, or probably end up ordering one off the net.

I can't believe how the prices around here could be so high.

Does a sending unit for a mazda cost over $320???

~~BrentN~~ · 12-04-2005, 01:39 PM

An exhaust gasket is about 200$.
ACV's are 400$
Vacuum tubing 3"s in length are up to 10$
Oil injector (a basic valve nothing more) is 80$
An air flow meter (basically a variable resistor with a metal housing) costs about 1500$.

You name it, its expensive. It sucks.

offroadin · 12-04-2005, 03:12 PM

Nope. NAPA is the best place when it comes to finding parts. Other than that its just local stuff. (I wish we has a Lordco Auto Parts in town).
