O' Reallys POS

Mopar to ya said

Jesus Christ, you got a bad part. Stop the world. It happens. Anything man made can break. O'Reilly's doesn't make it, they just sell it. This is what happens in the internet world. You save money buying online and have no local recourse. If you had bought it locally (And you could have. If O'Reilly online can get it, so can the store. Napa and Carquest both have them locally. I checked.) Parts go bad all the time, and that is the curse of being a do it yourselfer like most of us. You have to do the labor again yourself. Big deal.

While I agree, I have had mixed results with the brands Orielly offers. Some work great, others are junk. Besides these brake calibers, I've also had to exchange, under warranty luckily, 3 of their "new" alternators...not the rebuilt/reman'd ones, the new ones. When you pay 500 bucks for something, I expect it to last longer than 2 months. And it's been the same issue everytime....the stupid special decoupler pulley goes out and locks up. On m car, its a 4 hour job to get the alternator in and out. You have to remove power steering pump, AC condenser and compressor, a couple brackets and a 2 of the 3 idler pulleys. Then you have re-bleed everything, so yeah it's a big deal when they sell junk parts. Again, once every so often isn't bad, but 2-3 times in a year...I will not be shopping there anymore.
