There was a few threads where people have discussed a couple guys on here that work for a dealer or shomething and can get OEM parts for a great price, but I can't seem to find there info now. I have been trouble shooting my P0401 code and am pretty sure my Vacum Modulator is toast. I want to order that and update the VSV to the blue one at the same time.
In need of OEM toyota parts?

Beno's head guy at a different ABQ dealership now. He's in the vendor section along with the others.

i called Lowe and American Toyota but they are both just dealerships and they both quoted me the same prices that my local dealer quoted me. I thought there were some guys on here that were parts dealers only and gave discounted rates to forum members.

That adds another $200+ to the cost which I don't have. The entire EGR replacement is also a much bigger job. The modulator is on top and is super easy to swap out. The VSV (which is what has probably failed) is on the side and not too difficult to replace either. I have heard of guys just cleaning out the EGR with good results. I need to look into that option and see how difficult/time consuming that will be. Also need to find a write up on here for doing that option.
Akella. He's cheaper than any dealer (American Toyota included).

Did you actually talk to the guys who are the vendors here on Mud, such as Beno (onur) and CDan at the two Albuquerque dealerships and Sam at Lowes Toyota? Or did you just call the general parts desk number. Because the parts should be cheaper than your local dealership even with shipping charges.
Dude.
You have to ask for the specific person and then tell them you're from 'MUD.
Guaranteed waaaay cheaper than your local dealer on most items, even with shipping.
Plus, they know our rigs inside and out, so they know exactly what you're talking about and get you the correct part first time/every time.

I've gotten a few price quotes from the guys here on mud and this website sells them for the same price. I find it a lot easier to order on this site than having to make a phone call, leave a message, then wait for a call back to place an order

Ask for Onur.
Well, that's changed a bit too....life moves fast. Check new signature.
Too funny. I have LC guys like that as well on my phone. New phone in sig.
WTF? General manager at proffitt's? Sick job man. Congrats.
Job must be pretty damn good to justify moving to a land where they force-carbonate their micro-brews.
Does this move put you out of the OEM parts purveyor business? I saw an ad in TT regarding Proffitt's having a sideline selling parts now.

Got ahold of Dan and the prices went WAY down. He got me a great deal. I will be ordering from him from here on out.
