Comment on US agents arrest 475 in raid on Hyundai-LG plant
over_clox@lemmy.world 4 days agoI found the MAF sensor on eBay for $22.99 just yesterday, it’s on the way now. Honestly if it was my vehicle, I’d just leave the old one disconnected and call it a day, it already runs a thousand times better than the old one did when connected.
The old transmission for the 91 Corsica? Yeah that definitely wasn’t on a warehouse shelf.
That came out of a U-Pull-It junkyard, all fluids already drained and the best two hints I had to go on was the mileage on the odometer (around 89k miles) and the residual transmission fluid still on the stick wasn’t brown, it was still pink.

sometime stuff on eBay is not limited to location so they can be somewhere with low rent in the middle of nowhere, or they can be high up in the distribution chain so stuff is cheaper, or it could be fake part. You haven’t tell me what kind of brand you’re getting so i won’t talk about your local part store.
Junkyard is like a warehouse without roof, and since you’re doing work pulling out the stuff yourself, i’m not sure why you’re wondering it’s cheap.

I grew up on the junkyard.
I’m not wondering why it’s cheap, I’m wondering why it isn’t more common…
