Ehhhhh.....whaaaaa?

They're simply the best there is....on the entire planet. Other than exhaust parts and fluids/gaskets that you can get as cheap at a local store, I don't know why anyone wouldn't love RA.

THE MAGNETS!

If you buy junk parts from junk manufacturers, that's your fault. At least you probably got a better deal on said junk parts than if you had ordered them elsewhere.....and a magnet or two.

I've literally rebuilt my last 5 vehicles with 90% rockauto parts, and so have most of my friends. Saved a ton of money, and they've never once done me wrong, except for the few times they skimped on magnets, which it seems they have been getting worse about doing

Love the magnets! I buy a lot of appliance, snowmobile, ATV and automotive parts on line and finding the magnet in the box is like the toy in cracker jacks! I plaster them on my beer fridge in the garage.

I have mixed views on rock auto. Ordered my ball joints through them. Paid extra for express shipping (2 day). Took 7 business days to get to me. Parts where fine but when I spoke with customer service they wouldn't refund my extra shipping cost. Still saved some money over getting them somewhere else but it put a hold on my project.

Good choice. I have the full Brown Dog bracket kit, with the rubber mounts AND the huge brackets that bolt all up and down the side of the engine. They are impressive, and when I bought mine Brown Dog gave forum members a 10% discount. I think they still do.

I went with an OEM transmission mount. Keep in mind that if you go with poly engine mounts, you'll want a rubber transmission mount. Either front or back needs to be rubber to avoid vibration problems.

As for Rock Auto, they sell good parts and some really cheap parts that are crap. If you got crap parts, you didn't do your homework. Whenever I buy RA parts, I go online and find opinions about the brands I'm considering before placing the order. Doing it that way, I haven't had an issue with a single part from them, and I've saved quite a bit of money.

I am thoroughly impressed with my Brown Dog mounts and brackets. Set my engine up correctly solving an exhaust leak and shifts much better. I have poly motor and transmission mounts. With proper through bolt tightening I am completely fine with the limited vibration it sends into the cab. I used some rubber spacers in the dash to solve that rattle and no one has even noticed it has anymore vibes when they ride with me. It is solid as a rock though!
