Same, I wouldn't have even stepped in the water after it. So props for that

 

Going to a meeting with the DWR tonight, they’re trying to get some lions collared this winter. I’m going to try and let me go with them, you know, for the experience.

 

Speaking of lions Just big cats

My GF when I wake her up at 2am

 

Bump, bump you awake

 

Oh well then that is pretty good for a parts store replacement, you usually get a couple months before you have to replace them again

 

This... I'm at 1.5 years on a Napa clutch master and slave and am amazed it's held up

 

I used triple distiled vodka. Alot smoother

 

@BartMaster1234 probably uses ciroc to keep his truck gluten free

 

Nah titos hand crafter vodka from texas. Thats gluten free
Distilled 5 times

 

I should have added that I had to reuse the OEM bushing and rod on the clutch. Napa replacement lasted 3 hours

 

Parts store stuff used to be much better than it is today. Most suppliers have gone overseas and thus quality has suffered. Duralast Alternators and starters used to be the shit for their price range. Now I wont buy it unless I either research the hell out of it or if it has a quality name stamped on it. Denso, Felpro, Aisin, etc... If I go house brand, it's Napa only. My dads Duralast CV axles in his 92 pickup have lasted probably 8 or more years now.

 

NEW parts store crp is often worse than refurb, cause in the cheapo refurbs they usually dont touch anything thats tough to get to so at least some of it is OEM

 

Yeah that doesnt surprise me. When I had my master cylinder scare, I was told even the new aftermarket ones are junk. Thankfully the issue went away so I didnt need one anyway. But even reman calipers are supposedly junk these days.

 

Buy decent quality parts from good manufacturers not the BS lowest bidder garbage from the parts stores

 

That's a good way, but you can also use auto parts stores and order stuff not from their house brands. They all deal other brands too, especially Napa

 

The internet was good until knockoffs became a thing. Try buying a "denso" O2 sensor. Honestly, I go dealer on everything I financially can.

 

Exactly, my Napa will usually give 2-3 options ranging from house brand, to a mid level, to the "OEM replacement"
