THAT price difference.... outa be against the law. In round numbers, thats almost a 50% mark-up. Does anyone know why, and how, a Dealership can Jack Up the prices on parts and get away with it ?
Aint that Gougeing.. and aint that illegal ??
Off Topic but Enquiring Minds want to know.
sadly, no. That is just capitalism. Gouging is arbitrarily raising a product's price under extraordinary circumstances where the product is suddenly in high demand and low supply and typically an essential need. The most common example where it is actually prosecuted is a hurricane and coastal retailers suddenly jacking up the price of water, lumber, etc. because they know people have to buy it to survive.
Fortunately, we have the ability on truck parts to shop around and find someone with a reasonable price for what we need. Now, if you were stuck on the side of the road and called a dealer and his normal price for a cps was say $100 but once he realized your situation raised it to $200 knowing you did not have any other alternative, then you have gouging.

Well my truck sputtered and died on the way back from lunch today. Looked down to see the SES light when it was sputtering.
It started back up to let me turn off the street I was on, luckily right next to work. Died again when turning in, started up and I parked. Pulled the Evo out and checked codes to find the old CPS code.-mad
120,493 miles, I've owned the truck since 57,000. I'm guessing original CPS.
Glad I've got one in the glovebox! Now I've got to go back to International and get another one.

I lost my CPS at 48,000 miles. I had read on these posts to keep an extra one in the glove box but I was dumb and thoght that that couldn't happen to me. On the way to work one morning it happend. Because of reading the treads, I knew exacley what was wrong. I changed the CPS and the truck ran fine. Now I keep an extra in the glove box.
