July 4th Sales Baby!

[Mittnz]

RuffStuff is doing 17.76% off all RuffStuff-produced items this week. (Steering kits, heims, brackets, DIY kits, etc.)

But they are also doing 25% off select DOM, and either I have just been overpaying for a while, or these prices on DOM are dirt cheap.
I snagged 5’ sections of 1.5” OD x .120 wall for $25 a piece.
2”x 0.25 wall is only $14 a foot.
1.5”x0.25 wall, in 54” sections (steering kit length) only $60.

A bit off topic, but careful with Rock Auto. Been looking for sales for drivetrain parts myself and Rock Auto has decent pricing on a lot of stuff, but the shipping will eat you alive. Summit was actually cheaper for all the parts to convert a D70U from drums to D80 discs due to the $102 RA wanted for shipping, even though the rotors and pads were $85 more at Summit.

Motobilt has 10% off...not sure how long it lasts though.

Oh good so everything is only 60% more than it should be. 🤣

Have you guys seen the close out section on RockAuto?

This is a sort of old post, so it might not even be relevant anymore, but there is a way to see all the manufacturer closeouts and stuff for your car. I’ve actually seen some random things for 70-80% off MSRP.

Yeah...they almost got me on that too.... Had Moog unit bearings for a SD60 ('05+) for mfg close outs with 30 day warranty for $164 and ridiculous shipping. Found them on eBay for $135 and free shipping with 3 year warranty.

BTW, WFO Concepts has 15% off their products right now as well.

Yeah, YMMV here. Definitely mixed stories about Rock Auto.

I use their site more for a parts catalog than anything, then start looking on Google/Ebay at specific part numbers.

 

[Sean]

Yeah...that's what I did too. You can use their site to copy/paste the brands and part numbers to find better deals.

Rock auto parts are garbage and their warranty is worthless.

They carry some OEM parts though....AC Delco, Motocraft, etc.

It's rejected parts I'd say. Save your money and buy somewhere else.

First I've heard this. What makes you think that?

I've bought 3x from them. all parts were oem and failed within days of installation. Last one was exhaust manifold for 6.7.. it was oem and shrank down so much in 6hrs of run time it sheared all the head studs but 2. Their fix was to pay to ship back and pay shipping again and they'd replace it with same one. I'd prefer refund. They said no refunds.

Wow....I knew their CS was pretty much non-existent, but that's a horror story. Thanks for sharing. Guess I'll just be using them as a parts catalog.

Dang, I've ordered from them at least a dozen times and never had any issues. I've always heard they were hit and miss, I guess I've just gotten lucky.

Same. I've used them a handful of times without incident...though I do notice they make it damn near impossible to reach a person if you do have an issue.
