That wouldn't surprise me. I had a friend who's mustang got stolen about a month after visiting a performance shop in Houston. He just woke up one morning and it was gone. Never to be seen again. I think they made a copy of the key and the alarm clicker and just came and drove it off. You have to be careful who you let around your vehicle these days.

 

props to you man, you have more patients than I do. If I came out and someone had opened my hood and started snooping around they would have either seen my fist flying or the barrel on the G23! I barely let my friends look under the hood of my truck, not that there is anything special there but it is mine and not anyone else's to be dickin around with stuff under there. But then again he know's more than you right?

 

You sir, are far more patient than I would've been. I work at a local GM dealership behind the parts counter, and most are just button pushers waiting for 5 o'clock. A few guys I work with won't even attempt to look anything up without a vin, not sure why. It's much easier with the vin, but in your case you actually know what you need so it's just as easy. It's a hit or miss, I know first hand most parts guys are dicks. If you'd like a price or part numbers on things in the future send me a PM and i'd be glad to find what you need. I just wish it was more than a job to more/all that do it. It would make everything so much better.

 

We'll be waiting for a post on that. Vids are nice!

Even if she's hot?!?
I figured that kind of **** went on. DTA! That's another reason I prefer to do my own work or have my friend help what I don't know/ need help on. People can't just make an honest livin. Gotta screw w/ others ****! pissed:Rotten POS (plural)! Did you ever talk to cops on that? I bet you would've loved to caught em red-handed.

Again, more rotten P.O.S. people out there.

 

Cause they're lazy? If a parts guy is busy, then said parts guy might, might have a valid point. Otherwise, they get paid by the hour. Shouldn't be no skin off their nose(s). Plus, if they're cool & they cut me a break, I'll give them my business Again & AGAIN.I'll even send more biz their way.
Sometimes a VIN isn't needed for some generic parts. What makes it so special to have the VIN for the specific parts? I figure it eliminates parts not specific to a customer's ride.

 

Yep, i would have pulled the ole LCP out and asked him nicely to back away before you took action. Shoot your lady was in the truck, you have plenty reason right there.. haha..

You just had to go to the dealership huh? Always stirring up trouble

 

I'd be pretty careful about who you're poping the hood for. I'm sure you like showing off your build. . . . but it's way too easy to pop the hoods from the outside . . . and then it's gone

 

Yeah the vin helps decode things like gear ration, interior color codes, and just about every option on said vehicle from others. In this and most cases, if someone knows what they want it's just as easy as using the vin number. Damn lazy asses

 

A vin number wouldn't do any good on a lot of our trucks on here haha.

 

You knew I knew what a VIN stood for, right?
I just meant, what was it's value in parts ordering? Ya know what I mean?
That's what I thought you guys do w/ it tho; it dials it in that much quicker.

I originally thought parts guys used it so the average Joe couldn't clone a particular vehicle. A counter-counterfeit check if you will.
