New Parts -- it is like an Easter Egg hunt ---


Sometimes new parts from CARQUEST are like an easter egg hunt -- you never know where or when you will find then. Why they have so many holes in their process to inform us - well - who knows -- we have mentioned it ...and yet the process is still like swiss cheese.

For example - a good idea is to every month check the Activant Message Board in J-Con -- using 8-12 then the #8 for message board and you will see the enclosed image (click to enlarge)

So --who knows ANYTHING about the Dorman ABS wire harnesses ? or the MUCH REQUESTED oil drain plugs (in poly bags -- the wheel studs could come in poly bags and use a 'dot ONE ... .1 sufffix ---what do oil drain plugs use ??

The Akebono pads we heard about -- has anyone seen one yet ??

Keep the eyes peeled for 'hints' of new part numbers -- they don't make it easy -- appreciate you feedback.

Oh yeh- Ryan has noticed we LODST the Caliper listing in e-cat -- we have a note on the feedback -- but he is also writing Brian Wiggs directly to see if we can get the fix applied to our stores asap ..... oh boy ... this is usually a problem with the MCL file -the file that controls the lines that show and in what order. At one point we controled our MCL -- but their lack of ability to relay info on new lines forced us to let CARQUEST control the MCL.
