Well, they have two parts I need, in stock, and cheaper than my dealership.

I think they are good. I just bookmarked that site. Thanks for sharing.

I'll go ahead and share my experience with you all with this site...

I called them up today. They're a regular Ford dealer in the internet parts business. I checked on the crankshaft they had listed for 175.00 bones (4.2). I thought "Wow, that's a hell of a deal, even if I have to buy bearings. Apparently, a "new" crankshaft you buy from FoMoCO is a remanufactured cankshaft (by Ford). They DO NOT tell you how much its turned down, only that its still within factory spec. They do come with main bearings, but the man wasn't sure if they came with rod bearings as well. Long story shorter, they wanted like $360.00+$100 core charge! Advance auto parts has remanned ones for $260ish with a $100 core charge, and the machinist charges 75-100 to turn the crank, 8.00/rod to resize, plus bearing cost of course. (I'm going with the machinist option).

Back to the point...the guy said he really didn't care for the website, because the prices aren't accurate alot of the time. So he said its better just to call him up for whatever you need.

Just thought I'd share.......

If I'm going to deal with a Ford dealer by long distance, I'll call Tasca.
