[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 439622, member: 21038"] Take a deep breath, man, you seem to be getting pretty worked up. NAPA parts aren't magical. Standard Motor Products isn't exactly known to be cream of the crop parts, especially their sensors. I'm sure they're CAPABLE of making good parts to OEM specs but Stardard Motor Products branded stuff (or any FLAPS branded SMP stuff) is usually the last resort for me when I can't find something like DELPHI, or NGK/NTK. None of those brands instill confidence I'll actually get a long-lasting quality part. At least not to me. A lot of what NAPA sells is the same things the other FLAPS are selling, but you're paying for that NAPA box they may be packed in. That used to not be the case, but NAPA has just become another FLAPS. They're not special. Never used the word "tranny" in my post. Like I said it was almost a year ago (Jan of this year) but they were able to locate and get me IAT, both coolant sensors, and an oil pressure sensor within 10 minutes of typing on their computer. Mopar Branded in their original packaging. [/QUOTE]
