well, at least he speaks diesel. All the monkeys at my local autozoo only speak ricer, and bling. Do you know how hard it was to get the $.01 glowplugs last year when the pimple faced kid is asking if the run hotter than his splifire plugs in his 1.9L honda

You should've just told him that they will DOUBLE his horsepower, and you'd love to race him after he gets them installed lol

Where I am from, you're lucky to get anyone at a parts counter that is older than 17. Last time I was at an parts place I had the 16-year-old girlie arguing with me when I told her I had no use for the sparkplugs she had on promotion.

But reading here it says it will give all vehicles a 5 HP!
I love it when I go to a parts store and I ask for a part after I say I need it for a 7.3L Powerstroke and they say... ummm is it the 7.3L Gas or diesel?
lol yep. That's pretty much what I told him, good parts people are really hard to find. He said he is consistently surprised by the lack of good parts people.

"SIR, 4wd or 2wd?"
"I asked for a glowplug. Why does it matter?"

The funny thing is, I needed a brake switch so all they needed to know was auto or manual tranny.

I went thru a similar experience with my POS Honda last week. In 1990, the Accord only came with one engine configuration but yet they still asked my what size I had. I even looked over his shoulder and saw that there was only one size to choose from. The funny thing is, I needed a brake switch so all they needed to know was auto or manual tranny.

Sometimes I am tempted to apply at the local Napa for part time work but I look at the customers they have when I am there and I ask myself if I would want to help most of them myself. Amazingly the answer is always no. Not sure why though

We are lucky in our little town the old guys at the parts store can rattle off the part no. for just about whatever you ask for.
Had to go into the moved OT to find the new OT to get caught up on the OT's.
Hope the guy's find there way back here,but I understand if they they don't.
just glad it's still going.
