    Haha can you see my washer line zip tied to the windshield wiper in that pic, I have 5 extra nozzles I carry in my truck, but keep forgetting when I am in warm weather to change that out, putting one of them ######## on in sub zero temps sucks cause the line isn't supple enough to push the nozzle into it. Besides that when I am going down the road I kinda like this way better, it just sucks sitting still because it sprays my fluid out into space

    If...If..it's identical quality made by same person, then you're the victim of markup by a major name. Fleetpride you have to search and find. If you're at a truck dealer, they have you in a captive position, so you're paying for the convenience of them having what you need, at their price.

    They're not there to make your wallet thinner with reasonable prices, but to keep themselves in business with margins to buffer against other business fluctuations. Supply and demand. You demand, they supply...at their price point plus markup for stocking, documentation, reordering, heating, etc... Usually on a business, you're looking at between 20 - 50% markup, whatever the market can handle. When you're at a premium dealer, they can charge what they want.

    Aftermarket items are theoretically, less reliable, so they are cheaper. I'd rather buy more at a cheaper price, depending on the price, or pay good money for a reliable, better made part. Nowadays, it's a crapshoot which one you're going to get from either source. :(

    I've made it down to southern NM to feed the cows. It'll be a quiet evening anyways.

    Been a long few days. Rates I'm seeing this week have been dahm near name your price. Luckily the wife is helping take care of mom, so I'll run a short one to Minot Monday before I shut it down for a while.

    89* down here, too early for that siht.
