I usually get mine from Rock Auto.

I use Rock Auto, Summit, Jegs and Amazon.
I'd use Rock Auto more if they made a Marauder magnet.

What about the BAP?
Straight from KB?
Was reading the theory of the BAP I didn't know there was a. Chip involved.
We have the dual cobra pumps, still one outlet hose and positive and negative wires going in.
duel pumps installed as a single pump
So here's the dumb question
Single or duel BAP?
Here at the shop we try to use local dealers for everything. We all need to remember that local is important. Who you deal with is your own choice but I sure prefer to have a person I trust and can count on when I need the right parts.

I do agree with local shops but not into auto zone, advance auto their staff here not too impressive. Orilliey has pretty good employees, I use them for our work trucks and daily drivers, went thru three radiators for a van the plastic sides kept leaking and three fuel pumps for the Yukon cheap air tech, bought a Bosch and that fixed it
I use ebay for most of my online purchases and Pep Boys for local. Pepboys.com also has a good "site to store" feature similar to Walmart and frequently offer 15% off parts if you order online. This past Presidents Day they had 25% off parts.
As the owner of a shop your local dealers probably support you with fair pricing, even if not at the level of the online dealers.
For the rest of us schmucks, if you walk into a dealer parts counter you're going to pay double or more what the parts should cost. I have tried to negotiate reasonable parts prices with them, in the end they were uncooperative and it just wasn't worth the hassle. Especially when they have to order the parts. Well, I can order them too. This at a local dealer I have spent about $10K over the past ten years on parts and service.
It is a two-way street doing business locally.
