Why am I a PartsPimp?

I became a Partspimp for heavy duty truck parts because I wanted to help people. I was reminded of that a few days before Christmas a trucker called me (frantic) from Memphis. He was at a engine dealer (I have nothing against dealerships) and they were holding him and his truck for ransom. They wanted $18,000 for an in-frame on an older truck with a 3406B Cat! The truck was barely more than they wanted for the in-frame. Anyway, the trucker was from Dallas and wanted to get home. In a few calls I found him a cherry Cat truck engine for $4,000. The guy was almost in tears when I told him. He must have thanked me 10 times.

So that's me, a Partspimp. That's how I roll.
