I stopped by the local Autozone the other day to pick up inner/outer BD30 wheel bearings as I am collecting parts for soon to start refurb. I requested Timken bearings Set 45 and 47. The kid behind the counter returns with Timken Set 45's in hand and stated that they did not have the Set 47's in stock.
I buy parts from autozone, they are a parts house who advertise as themselves towards catering to backyard mechanics. If they sell a defective part to a backyard mechanic I do not believe they can just say "well we do not stand behind these parts unless you are a credited shop." My business and loyalty is with autozone not the manufactuer.
..My son and i are in the middle of rebuilding an autozone engine with only 2000 miles on it.. the wrist pin in piston two didnt have enough clearance to let oil lube the pin. It banged the hootie out of the piston and caused a loud hammer sound in the engine. 207 dollars to have parts replaced , and we are doing the rebuild.
They should. I spent most of my life working in auto parts stores and there was never a question on refunding core charges unless the core wasdamaged in some manner that did not permit it being used to remanufacture the item. Cores are actually needed and wanted by remanufacturers who depend upon them to produce their products.
I have a 3.6L and found Mopar had a filter cap that had a port for a gauge for testing. There are plenty of oil pressure test gauge kits on Amazon or your local auto parts store may have one, or you can make one up with parts. But having a mechanical guage to test against when you really want to know the truth, is the only way, IMO.
I have an Oreilly's near me also,love the store.The BWD/BWD Select parts i have found have different prices and differnet warrantys. ex.one bwd part may be 17.99 w/1 year warranty,and BWD Select may be 19.99 w/ lifetime warranty.I would always get the select for the 2 extra bucks,and know i am covered. never had a problem with O'reilly's,returns,changeouts,anything.
The best place for that is on a parts website such as Autozone, Advanced Auto, O'Reilly's, Napa, or such. There you can input your auto information and it will give you a visual breakdown of all of the parts, etc. Picture is worth 1,000 words.
AutoZone, NAPA, Advanced Auto Parts, even Extreme Terrain. They always get me the larger one, which I assume is for the front. It's 2" long and WAY to fat 1/2" to even fit through the hole.
Unfortunately, so-called lifetime warranties for cheap Chinese parts more usually means a lifetime of problems and premature failures. I'll take a good quality OE Mopar radiator with its 12 month warranty over any Autozone or Advanced Auto cheapy with its lifetime warranty.
Get creative. Duplicate the problem in the garage. I'd meter the disconnected dash plug, put a drill on the removed gear assembly, and check if the right voltages and signals are consistent. Wiggle wires to find anything intermittent. You know how it works and there are not a lot of parts involved.
