Oh, please do quit *****ing and moaning. Be glad you're paying Dodge
prices and not Volvo prices or Honda prices or VW prices for parts. OR,
option "B", sell your current vehicle and buy my '89 D100. All the parts
you want, right from the nearest wrecking yard, for $1.98/ea. Set of four
correct original hubcaps, $9.90 and tax. But -- please -- your complaints
are groundless.

....at grossly inferior quality levels. You get what you pay for and you
don't get what you don't pay for.

19 bucks for a hubcap? i just ordered del of a small pizza, a small spaghetti
and an order of chicken wings for me and my father for lunch, $24.25 plus tip!
as for looking for parts, well you just need to look around, only the dealer
will sell dealer only/factory parts, but their are tons of aftermarket parts
suppliers out there depending on what you need that sell tons of stuff, do a
google search and start from there
Shepherds we shall be for thee my lord for thee Power hath decended forth from
thy hand so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command We shall flow a river
forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be In nomine Patris et Filii
et Spiritus Sancti

Nice troll. Very few here will bite on an obvious
troll. LOL

E-mail me with your VIN #.
If this is the cap I am thinking about, then its only $13.85. I really
don't think that is out of line.
I will check it out and e-mail you with a part #. I would sell it to
you for the $13.85 but after the shipping the $19.00 is cheap.
If the dealers where you live all charge the same they are practicing
"matrix pricing". it's legal if fact trying to stop that is price
fixing. They are probably trying to make a little back from insurance
companys and other bussiness that is lost to aftermarket.
The JC Whitney thing is a example of the fact that Autozne can sell
whatever they want, they just don't.
As for the guy who keeps losing the cap, put a little dab of clear RTV
on the edge of the cap. This should keep the cap in place.

Thank you. I went ahead though & got one. If I should lose
another, I will do as one poster said, pull the last three off until I sell
the truck. Meantime, we got lots of junk yards, which I will be cruising.
Oh, thanks for the RTV suggestion!
