Don't forget to tell the stealers that you can get them from the US express shipped in 4 days for $100, and that includes the $50 express freight charge.

That may give 'em a hint that their thieving days are numbered!

It's disappointing to know that when you go to a parts store here in Australia that you are going to pay 2 or 3 times more for something then someone in the US

I have never bought a single part from a dealer in Australia.

I have bought ALL the parts that I have needed either from a US dealer, Riff Raff, Diesel Site or other US suppliers.

For filters I use Wagga Tractor.

FA will never extract a cent for me for F250 parts. That said, I am in the situation where I can afford to wait for necessary parts if need be.

For me, FA can FO!

BTW & FYI , Rocker Cover gaskets at Riff Raff:

Riffraff Diesel: Ford Valve Cover Gasket 99-03

$62.81 USD a PAIR + shipping, so you could have them for less than AUD$100 in your hands!

Reg, usually pick up the Baldwin filters in 3 or 4 packs from Wagga Tractor on flea-bay.

The in-bowl filter I pick up off Clay a couple at a time.

Sorry, my bad, $62.81 PER GASKET, some point thought, you can pay AUD$160 and have a pair here in 5 days from the US.

OR you can pay $700 from the stealer here in Oz.

When compared to the prices at the ozzy stealerships, just about anything bought from a reputable US supplier, even after freight, is a BARGAIN!
