Dealers Charge Up The A$$

[Dinner]

So I need a part for my 5.9 Cummins, the Fuel Filter Head to be exact..this piece:

 

It is cracked where my Fuel Pressure Port is on there(brass fitting with nylon hosing). So right now I have it all sealed up and what not so I can at least drive the truck, though I can't monitor my Fuel pressure :sad: But anywho, went to the Dodge Dealer today figuring it shouldn't be too too bad of a price. The lady came back and showed me the price....$1600 and something dollars :ohmy: I said to her Holy shit, Fuck That...she just kinda laughed and looked at me. So I just told her I'll get it welded or find one at a junk yard or something.

 

I'm not sure if she was pricing out the entire Fuel Filter Housing, but even still $1600 CDN for even the housing

 

Soo right now I have one (well im hoping its the right part,lol) coming from a wrecker.

i tried to trade a street bike i paid 11k for back into the dealership with 262 miles and they told me 5000 trade in. go figure

 

i will get the hayabusa one way or another.

The stealerships are way over priced. I only go there for certain stuff for my truck. Yea, I would definatly look around before u blow that much on it :shrug:

Yea, isn't it once you drive something off the lot, the price drops like half of what it was paid for or something like that...

So far I haven't gone to the dealer for anything for my truck, and well this just puts me away from them even more,lol I'm hoping that the part I have coming from the wrecker is the right piece, if not I'm going to be out around $150 If it is the right part, I will use it and then in a couple months get a whole new fuel system upgrade.

on my dads 1988 ford f450 it leaks at about the same place and they dont make a new one for it anymore and if they did it would of been 850 bucks.. so he found one at a junk yard for 25 bucks. and it was new, go figure right?

if its used and you own it, they act like its worth nothing, if they are rtying ti sell you something used, its a jewel.. bastards
