I dont what I should hate, Chevy, or their dealerships..
 

So last Sundy on the ride home from an autocross event, I lost a rear disc brake caliper bolt that holds it to the bracket on the rear. So today I went to Bennett Chervrolet to see if they have it in stock. From what the guy told me,its a special bolt, it would take till the middle of next week to get in, and cost $16.00 for the bolt, a damn bolt. So Im so pissed off, I dont know if I should hate chevy, or just their dealerships. My ranger never had any, custom, rare parts that I had to work on, and I never had t go to a Ford dealership for a part. You cant spell af-Ford-able without Ford in it. I should hate the dealership tho, realizing the last time I went there for a price quote, it was 1500 for the headlight harness, which later that week I found at a junkyard for 80 bucks. I kno a Junkyard doesnt costthat much, but I think the prices these days are outrageous, and its peopel like Mr. Idunohowtachangematire ( I dont know how to change my tire) that keeps these parts departments in business, and feel like they can charge anybody out the ass for parts. Pure ass people, seriously.

i have one of those bolt if u want it tonight give me a call 2012061155

Ah man, thanks. I just went to a few places, and found one similar to it, just gotta grind it a little so it doesnt hit the rotor. It's just a tempo for now.

ouch i hate loosing those bolts. i lost one lsat yr on way home from the south meet at vineland, i came off the rt55 exit and my front caliper just locked all up. lost a bracket bolt =\ had another at home though :)

YEA!! luckily I hobbled it home, but I found a bolt almost similar in size. I grinded it down, placed a locking washer on it, and thread sealer, so i shouldn't have another problem for a while lol. But if its that common ( not saying that just cause two peopel lost their bolts, but i at least know im not the only one wiht this that has happened to them) you think theyd keep a few around, its a pretty common bolt size actually.

it was in millville. vineland is way better then millville, ask anyone that lives here (dan back me up) :lol:

as for dealerships raping you up the ass, when my cat was clogged i finally took it to the dealership after about a month since no one could figure out what was wrong with it. the wanted to charge me $800 to have a stock cat ordered and installed!! i was about to tell them where they could shove it until we said that the car was under the 80k mile warranty, then it was only $80 :)
