NAPA or from the stealership?

[ScottyP5947]

I'm buying a thermostat housing, an idler pulley, tensioner assy and a belt - NAPAs a bit cheaper and has the parts in stock.
Is it really 'the good stuff'?
Junk or not vs stuff from the dealership? Pretty sure it's gates brand stuff.

Thanks -

general term for a dealership in which most of them mis-diagnose and charge you out the a$$ to fix soemthing that not broken or make the problem worse.

our local ford/international beleives they live in Beverly Hills or soemthing. CPS is $48. Glows are $250, and glow relay is $85, shell coolant 50/50 mix 8 gallons is $160, the list goes on. i bet a belt is $3000 and cupholder is $970
