Ok I just have to rub it in a little. Going to Cummins this morning and just thought as I was making the corner. We have Freightliner on one corner and straight across the street is Cummins, down from that is Lone Star Brake & Clutch two blocks down the road is Austin Fuel Injection a full service injection Bosch Reman, another block down and over is International of Austin and then its Lunford Equip around the corner from that, one mile from there is Austin Drive Train. How lucky can you get?

I usually get all the phone #'s lined up and park by them and call for prices on what I am looking for then just drive up to the one with the best pricing on what I happen to need at the time. Same goes for any parts house. I always make about 4-5 calls to the locals before deciding on where to go.

lol I did the exact thing today. 4.00 diff on pan gasket

i am just assuming here, but there wasnt a dodge dealer in the middle there to f@#$up your dream?

That is just so not fair!

I am envious of you, because I have to drive 90 miles to be close to any of those types of businesses!

No joke... 180 miles (south Boise, ID) one way or 125 miles (north to Lewsiton, ID) one way...

I'm not far off, JL....Kenworth, Peterbuilt, Monroe Tractor and Regional International (Cummins dealer) 10 miles south of me. KD Diesel Injection halfway between me and there, and a GREAT friction place, Rochester Brake and Clutch, 10 miles north, downtown. Cummins Northeast an hour west in Buffalo or an hour east in Syracuse. Hookups for light and medium duty parts from a friend in the business.Good thing, else I couldn't afford to keep this pile!!

Bismarck has it all 30 miles from my house.

I used to live right around the corner from ITP, when I lived off Research Blvd. Before that, I was in little Tijuana, also known as Ease Riverside Dr. :doh:I worked up at Alta Mere, which I understand is no longer there, off 183.
