Re: intake gaskets
What he said, also any retailer that carries Victor Renz can still get them. I think Carquest is still one of them.

Re: intake gaskets
That was a little uncalled for. You will see that this forum is not like the other car forums. Most people here are over the age of 19 and this forum has a pretty low BS factor. Let's not turn this into a mustang or import forum and just go out looking to start trouble, whether you think someone is BSing or not...
...and I have worked in the service dept. for a chevrolet dealership in the past. I can honestly say that most (if not all) things are more expensive at the dealer:2cents:

Re: intake gaskets
In one of my businesses, I deal with dealer invoices daily. I see dealers jacking the list price to their general public customers. I have questioned the dealer and they admit it, (as I have them against the wall) that they apply a % to the list price and charge the customer. And this is to a customer that bought the car at the dealer, have it serviced there and have been faithful. If they only knew!! Like Dave said, bring the KY.
Note:not all dealers are guilty of this practice but some in my area def. are. Along with labor rates over $100/hr, maybe some should take muscle relaxers before going to the stealership as well as bringing their KY.
My advice, stick with the vendors mentioned on this board. They have great knowledge and are willing to provide advice when asked. Help support them and they will help you.

F uck you buddy. You obviously don't know me very well. I NEVER EXAGGERATE SHIT. Here's the invoice, dickwad. Looks like I paid $83.91 in Dec 2002. Retail was 104.89 8 years ago. I did this from memory last night, but you call me out, I'll take the f uckin' hour to dig up the invoice. So yes, I was off a little. I'm sure the price has about doubled since then. Many of the parts I buy repeatedly have. (like the oil lines).
Line 1 are the intake gaskets.
Line 2 are head gaskets.
If you only paid 40 something, you didn't purchase the 12509697 SyTy set. Yes, there are other gaskets that fit, but for 40 bucks they aren't the aluminum sandwich SyTy Victor gasket.
Have a nice day. Go f uck with someone that doesn't know what they're talking about. I DO!

Re: intake gaskets
I think DaveP's response was way out of line. gstjohn was not disrespectful, nor did he personally attack DaveP. He simply said not everything at the dealer is expensive, and that could be true (it's just an opinion). I would also agree with him that a lot of people exaggerate dealer pricing (heck, I do it).

Re: intake gaskets
Out of line ? Lol, go cry to the Internet police I'm sure the term stealership was given to them for the great deals they give . Car and truck sales are down again , jacking up parts and labor is the only way some are able to keep their doors open .

I understand your sentiment, but I guess my point was that in order for this community to grow, we need to make it welcoming for newbies (myself included). I don't doubt that dealerships gouge the customer on many of the parts they sell.

Re: intake gaskets
got my gaskets from hood today, FAST SERVICE. I have dealt with many vendors with buicks and cummins and no one has been that fast. Now if the fuel rail would show up I could possibly drive it til something else breaks....
