RE: [DML] Re: Heads up on oil pressure sender cross parts reference

["John Hervey" <john@xxxx>]

David,
Naturally I agree as a vendor and if there is something wrong with a part we
can hear back and know how to correct it for the customer and everyone else.
I have sold 100's of oil pressure sending units that work perfect and have
had one failure. It leaked from the back and was promptly replaced and never
heard any thing back.
Does any one know that there apparently was a few blower motors with a spine
shaft instead of the D shape shaft. I found that out by sending out a blower
motor and the customer call me back and sent me the old motor. I
photographed it and it's now on the web site.
Things like this and feedback help to better refine the parts and look for
better ones.
One more thing, whether you buy it from me or someone else, Brake master
cylinders Re-man units have a normally high failure rate and don't last to
long just as the New old stock ( NOS ).
Just a word of caution. The high failure rate applies to almost anything
that has rubber seal or pistons that are old. Be aware.

So - how much time and driving did you spend to save the $15-20 over
a DMC vendor? The cross ref thing is fine when you are stuck on the
side of the road, and there are a some parts where you can really
save some money, but in my book $15, even on a $30 part isn't one of
them (unless you have way more time than money).
