... I did bring up Autozone again just now, and along with being able to get results for in-store inventory at the store you enter your zip code for ...

I wouldn't trust that. A couple of years ago when I tried that, they listed the part I needed in stock at the store nearest my house. An hour later when I checked at the store they told me that not only was the part NOT in stock, but also that they could not order it for me.

That might also go back to the "we can have it here from the warehouse by tomorrow" aspect of actually keeping parts in stock for vehicles as old as ours though too. And when ordering a part online, it seems that most searchable parts databases look pretty similar, meaning that they're probably all connected to some of the same "warehouses", which are usually district suppliers, not just local. Only one way to find out though.

Yah, it's worth a shot. Just don't go into it with false expectations of success.

Are you and I going to start this again?

That's why I said "That might also go back..." and "Only one way to find out though."

And besides, when it's a u-joint, how un-realistic can it really be?

What??? You don't like being in violent agreement?

So that was your idea of agreement? OK then.

According to an online dictionary:

1. the act of agreeing or of coming to a mutual arrangement.
2. the state of being in accord.
3. an arrangement that is accepted by all parties to a transaction.
4. a contract or other document delineating such an arrangement.
5. unanimity of opinion; harmony in feeling

This one seems to have #2 written all over it (pun intended). We're sayin nearly the same thing using different words (I'm just shy of being positive & you're just shy of being negative).

So in the interest of ending the Thread-Jack I'll make this my last entry. The mental exercise is fatiguing me & your Mama should have taught you years ago to never play mind games with an unarmed man.
