In partman circles the running joke is the guy who calls and asks for a part; like a flywheel housing. When you ask him what engine he needs it for he doesn't know. When you ask what truck its for he doesn't know the model number. Finally the partsman says, "What color is the truck?"
I recently took a call from someone who wanted to know how much a charge air cooler was. When I asked him what truck it was off, he said, "Just tell me how much they are!!" How can I tell him how much they are without knowing which one he needs??
Here's a tip for you when you call for parts: at the very least you'll need to know the year, make and model of the truck. Depending on what you need, you'll need to know the engine, transmission or differential make and model.
Having to send a part back because it isn't right is NOT A GOOD TIME. Make sure you give your partsman all the info he needs so you GET THE RIGHT PARTS.
