Well... its that time, just turned 60,000 on my 04 FXT. I am going to be doing this routine maintaence in the next two months and I am curious to see where others have purchased these items. I have searched and not come up with much, did find a great walkthorugh that I will be using, but not much on purchasing these items.
So here is my queston... do I purchase OEM from a dealer or do I purchase from Ebay/net resource. I know a former Subie mechanic (gonna try to coax him into assisting me, a little beer should do the trick!!) who says he has purchased several "kits" containing these parts from an Ebay supplier and that they have worked great with no problems. I dont have the name of the Ebay store in front of me (on a sticky note at the office...) I will post it tomorrow.
Which would you do?? I know OEM is best but this "kit" is like $275 from Ebay. I want to protect my car and at the same time my wallet. I am also probably gonna do the turbo gaskets and the TSB on the banjo bolts in the AVCS system as well as change the inline filter in the turbo oil line. Any advise would be great!! Mods please move if in the wrong place!!
