#$@%in' Chevy and Damn I love eBay!

As some of you may know I've been in need of replacing the dead fuel pump on my truck, so last week I dropped the tank, pulled it out and literally spent the entire weekend at parts stores receiving wrong parts.
The problem - the Chevy dealer wants $525 for the damn fuel pump!
The cheapest I could find one at any auto parts store was $300-$475, which all ended up being the wrong part. Of course it took me buying about 6 of them to find that out!
So - prepared to get anal probed with no lube, I called the dealer and asked them to order it.
In the meantime, I found the same part number that the dealers were giving me on eBay for $160 + $15 s\h, ordered that, and cancelled the one at the dealership.
6 days later after being in Vegas for the unfortunate funeral of my wife's grandfather, I received the pump from eBay yesterday, which just happens to be the exact part I need at a 3rd the price!
Thank you eBay!
The past 2 months have been nothing but hell for me - ever since that car accident, which I am STILL waiting to be paid off for! Now 2 months later!
