where to find replacement parts

[DRGREENTHUMB1001]

Anybody have any suggestions for a website or a catalog wholesaler for Blazer parts. My 98' has sprung in oil leak in the oil coolant line that runs from the filter to the radiator. Napa had the replacement for the 2wd but not for 4wd's. Plus, you know Auto Zone wont carry a part like that, and I would like to avoid being raped by a Chevy dealer. Thanks

try http://www.gmpartsdirect.com. They sell GM/ACDelco parts.


You'll need to know the exact part number, as it's rather hard to return parts (they're an internet contact only parts supplier, Flow Chevrolet in N.C.) They do have a GM parts catalog to search for the part numbers.

They sell at wholesale prices but tack on a good charge for SH.

An example; I bought a fuel level sensor from them for $72 including SH.
The cheapest I could find it anywhere else on the web was $85 not including SH. The part lists for $120. (My local chevy dealer only sells parts at list price)
It took 1 week to get the part from the time I placed the order.

This from one of my other posts:

Mine was bad where the line goes into the bottom of the radiator. Believe it or not, the hard plastic wire loom rubbed through the metal line. I suggest everyone check theirs to make sure they won't have the same issue.


Filter to radiator.....$20


Filter to engine..$33.79

2wd:

Radiator to engine..$28.79

they are cheaper at Rockauto, because the quality is nothing like the originals (didn't really expect it to be). The only issue I saw that might be a problem (other than the lines being thinner than original) is that the end that goes to the top of the radiator has a bend instead of a 90 degree connector. The extra distance that it sticks out with the bend makes it rest right up against the air box, this could allow it to rub a hole in the line. I put a short piece of hose over it for protection.
