It's better than it used to be, but watch on eBay, too, because I'm sure that the recent mass purchases will begin to show up there with lower prices as well.

 

I just got my GPs, thanks so much Rick!

 

Just got mine too, Rick. Thank you so much.

 

I just called 8 different Auto Zone stores. They all have plenty in stock. $6.37 each. None of them had heard anything about them being "on sale" or on "closeout" so I guess if I need some, they will be $6.37 plus tax each....

 

Thanks Ron, my daughter picked up 12 for me for 12c plus 1c tax not a bad deal.

 

I don't have Autozone in my area, but I have family in TN. I called all the stores in Nashville with no luck. Darn!!

 

I,ve been seeing them all over ebay anywhere from $24-$50 for a set.

 

glad to see some are still getting them..the ones that are out there for 2 to 6 bucks will most likely drop in price..so keep trying at them places..you could get lucky..



DHL will be delivering mine today...thank you Jason.

i see a set in the FTE classified section for $50...

jdecker88, and farmdad.

Glad I could do this for you.

What are FTE brothers for.

 

Antbody having any luck in Arizona ?

 

I got the last ones in Flagstaff ruger......ya might still try Phoenix though!

 

Can I get on someone's waiting list to buy a set? I have yet to check our AZ to see if they have any, I'll drop by after work and buy as many as I can to stock the "FTE shelves".

 

What is the deal with them? I called to 8 different ones here in Charleston and the surrounding counties and they have not even heard of, (or won't admit it)? Are they changing the part number, or some type of specification where they need to get rid of these, or was there a nation wide computer glitch?

 

Dave:

Here's what I understand happened.

Essentially, AZ decided (apparently at a very high level) to stop carrying the Motorcraft glow plugs (the ZD-10's for '94-'99 7.3L, the ZD-11's for the '94-'03 7.3L, and the ZD-12's for the '03-'07 6.0L). The beginning of that process was when the "local" stores started dropping prices (but we really don't know when THAT started happening)... first to about $5.50 each, then to about $2.99 each, then to about $1.80 each, and the final activity was to drop the prices to $0.01 each which is supposedly their internally determined price at which the products are pulled from the shelves and returned to the main warehouse for credit. Once the penny price was reached, the units were evidently supposed to NOT be sold to the public... just pulled off the shelf and sent back. You see, there are still stores all over the country that are at various levels of that "price reduction"/"product elimination" process.

For a variety of reasons, many AZ stores either did not understand what was happening, have proper communication & training, or did not care enough to follow "proper AZ protocol", and now a whole bunch of us have basically benefited from AZ employee/Manager "mistakes". It was pretty widespread, too, which really does nothing more than make the entire scenario a little more confusing in hind sight.

At least that is the best sense I can make out of all the reports posted here and the things I was told by different AZ store managers.

It now makes me wonder what we would have all done if we had fully understood all of this from the beginning.

 

Ours is not to question why.......ours is just to BUY BUY BUY
