Saw this thread on fep and figured it might save you guys a few bucks when ordering:

ok ok, not really hacking but thats what I felt like..... hope some of you can use this.. I Got an email from rock auto inviting me to browse the selection of wholesale closeout parts for my 1997 cadillac deville

http://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclef...l=en&html=true

Well thats all good and well but what if I want to view closeout parts for my 79 fairmont for instance? or my 1970 monte?

I figured out how....

Look carefully at the url above. right near the middle it says carcode=

If only I could find out the car code to some of the other cars I have....

Go to rock auto home page, click view catalog, and browse all the way to your car year, make and model and engine. Notice a small icon that says RSS next to the engine size. click that AS IF YOU were wanting to subscribe for updates for that particular model. the pop up window that results will have a url with your car code in it. replace the link above with the desired car code, and voila!! a list of wholesale closeout parts for the car you are working on.

FEP must have broken the link.

 

RockAuto Auto Parts

 

I've purchased several things from Rock Auto. Quality is what you pay for, shipping is fast, they have a pretty easy to use web site catalog, etc. I even had a return on something and that went smoothly as well as sending out the replacement part. They seem like a good company to deal with.

 

I bought a catalytic converter for a 2002 Volvo S80 from rockauto. They were cheaper than e-bay. Cool thing is the catalytic converter was not some chinese trash. It came from a company in PA.
