Sticker $hOk

OUCH!!

I had a 3200 GSK overnighted from PDR. When the FedEx guy showed up
I had to ****** the package out of his hands.

I ripped open the little box to see the spring, I also found the receipt in the
process ........ $51.00 ......... $21.00 for the spring and $30.00 shipping.


All I can say is OUCH! but I can mumble a few more words.

Shouldn't of had it shipped overnight. Thats a long distance. The main question is, do you not have a Cummins or Bosch distributor nearby where you could of bought the spring for $14?
