I really don't consider buying parts from Rockauto the same level of risk for bad parts as EBAY/Amazon. I just haven't seen any reports of counterfeit parts from Rockauto, but plenty on here and HP Tuners for spark plugs, coils and injectors. At least on Rockauto you can see the cheap brand if you want to go that route.

You see, for example, from the Rockout you mentioned, I have already received a part several times that was unusable.


Crooked shaft in water pump, malfunctioning induction coil, curved flexplate, and other things.



And they weren't things from the Economy or Daily Driver series. And if you are from overseas, good luck with solving the problem.


I'm not saying you can't be right.
But this has never happened to me on E-bay.
Everything that came always worked 100%

And I’ve ordered hundreds of parts from Rockauto and have had to return 1 that wasn’t my fault. And this was a ball joint that turns out all companies have incorrectly listed as working.

You can be happy.
I'm not saying it's a rule. But every time I'm waiting for a shipment from RA, I'm not completely calm.

Has anyone deleted the TPMS altogether? Because honestly, that's what I'd like to do because they're a PITA
