For any of you lookin for one and don't have a NAPA close by here is one,
a little pricey though.

Lets not supply that fellow with free advertising in the forums for his Ebay ad ...link removed

 

Also included:

2 Oil filters (list $15 each)not pictured
1 Fuel Filter (list $30)not pictured



Shipping is outrageous

 

Looks like a ripoff to me. He claims the retail price for the filter is $115. You can buy the exact same filter from Fleetfilter.com for $29 plus shipping.

He also claims that it flows 5 times more air than the stock filter, which we all know to be false.

In fact, let's just pick this whole auction apart just for fun:

That's debatable. I didn't really notice much difference.

Bull puckey.

Maybe on this auction, but not in the real world.



Buyer Beware!!

 

I saw this the other day, the sad part is he'll sell them.

www.fleetfilter.com

EDIT I just looked at his feedback, whew! I guess we're the idiots? Guy is making a killing! There was a sale @ $65.00 + $25 ship, nice profit!
I'd like a 120% margin!

 

I sent him a message linking him to this thread. He wrote me back an e-mail. Seems like a nice enough guy. I guess if people don't care enough to shop around and want to pay more for a product then that's their prerogative.

P.J. is right though...he's a lot smarter than we are. He's making money!!

 

Thanks for the defense Hoss. PJ the filters cost about $57.xx shipped to the US, then I have listing fees, ebay fees, and paypal fees, and the time to order it. I am not quitting my day job to make $10 on average 1 or 2 times a week. I have lost out on some of the auctions, occasionally I get hit by a fruadulent guy who does a chargeback.

I searched loaclly for a BHAF and best I could find was $47 and that was a special order. So I kept looking. The place I found has outrageous "LIST" prices, I did not come up with those.

Anyways, I love my Dodge 2001 and would rather sell a few filters and give someone else a decent deal, than have them get taken at their local NAPA, Autozone or Kragen/Schucks/Checkers. I use ithe proceeds for mod money. After 2.5 months I am getting close to paying for the Big fuel line kit from Vulcan.

 

I don't pay list and if the NAPA that you go to tries to sell you the BHAF @ list go somewhere else. Just say no, i am not going to pay list, and they will usally deal with you.
$115 list @ NAPA i paid $45 still a little high but. i had at the time put way too many miles on the truck trying to find someone with one in stock.

 

I dynoed at 189.7 hp with the stock air filter. I dynoed 190.2 without any air filter. 1/2 hp doesn't translate to a kick in the pants to me.

 

Now that you've already joined DTR, stick around a while.

 

Yeah, welcome to the family. And skip the Vulcan kit, get a concrete bedliner... It will fix all your problems, and add 10% more mower, along with a better ride.

 

thanks for the welcomes. I just got my truck 6 months ago, 2001, 130k, 6spd, got the edge comp, had a vanAaken that I really liked. I am looking forward to more BOMBs, researching it is most fun.

I am surprised how different the opinions of DTR and TDR (which I am also a member of ) members regarding BOMBs.

 

I have to say at first im thinking wow bahfs are supposed to be economical. however there is something to be said for a one stop shop and he is doing the running around. i didnt get to see a link but really its just marketing to use list prices. Really any good consumer is an informed consumer so buyer beware.

 

Correct. I like to do the leg work of learning about and shopping for stuff.
