Good online source for repair parts for semi's?

I have found PAI to have good aftermarket parts.

Amazon and eBay are generally good for filters and such.

Stangel brothers and I think SD spring have been good for suspension parts.

 

Thanks for the info

 

By and large just waste the dealers time finding oem part#, name and price, then use that to search up what you need... its not nice perhaps, but ill be darned if im paying kw 150$ for an amazon 45$ part

 

Priceless. I'm applying this.

 

I have found parts from the Freightliner dealer usually are pretty reasonable. Not in every case but certainly more often than not they've been very reasonable for my truck. I would say probably 95% of the things I bought have been the best price from the Freightliner dealer.

No offense to anyone but other brands of trucks just don't have the network that Freightliner has.

And if you have the great stupendous incredible Peterbilt you're screwed.

They have to have absolutely the worst Parts support of any manufacturer ever in the history of manufacturing anything on earth.

And if you are lucky enough that they have it, you will pay through the nose. Of course you will, that's no surprise.

I do like to Kid the Peterbilt folk, but that's not even kidding, that is just the fact and that is just part of the belt buckle experience.

And ironically, I do believe that the belt buckle is always in stock and always available.

And I'm sure you pay an exorbitant price for that too.

 

I do that with all of my vehicles and a lot of other things that need parts but the problem is fraud. Amazon is chock full of knock off crap these days. Even reputable online parts places sometimes get knock off junk. There's plenty of info and videos on this for Motorcraft parts for sure and going by the prices and reviews I see on truck parts on there, there is a LOT of crap to wade through.

I just wish there was a Rock Auto for big trucks. I love how you can get on their site and see 10 different brands of whatever it is you need, get the part numbers and prices and compare/shop it out online.

Honestly though, with Rock Auto, you can't beat their prices. The shipping sometimes sucks but I even it out by ordering several things at once and shopping around their site until I get everything from the same couple of warehouses instead of paying shipping from 5 different ones.

 

LOL. So I googled Big Rig World and saw they were kinda close to me. Saw pics so I drove up. There is no showroom. They share a building with the KW dealership. It’s another business of the owner. And to top it off, the part they told me they had couldn’t be found. Irritating.

 

i have a whole list of part numbers for my freightliner/series 60 I’ve been building by bothering the dealer for 4 years
