This has been running for about 15-20 years. We used to get service bulletins and so forth. Nothing for some time now.

I'm not certain it's necessarily a good thing if the factors get ousted. Granted, some parts are better OE.

'Trade Club' outlets can be dreadful to deal with when it comes to warranty claims.
