So true, I had a 2002 Tacoma with a failed clutch master cylinder. I picked up a Discount auto parts replacement, went through all the trouble of replacement, and the NEW part functionality was ALMOST worse than the old used up part! And it LEAKED, fresh out of the box…
Not all aftermarket stuff is bad, but Dorman is notorious hot garbage. Some parts arent bad to use aftermarket parts for, but electronics are better bought oem new or used from a salvage yard.
Am a mercanic and have been using aftermarket parts for over 30years and never had a problem . Main dealer parts are a total rip off expecially nissan and Toyota
Aisin makes Toyota transmissions and Toyota partly owns them. I got Aisin CVT trans fluid from RockAuto and worked perfectly. Aisin is not going to put their name on fluid that will damage their transmission 30,000 miles later and risk people thinking their trannys are bad. Aisin was 8 a quart for Toyota specific CVT fluid. The cheapest I could find the 4 liter dealership can was about $80. My closest Toyota dealer wanted $123 for the same can!!!!!
Dorman is garbage for most items. I met a guy who replaced a window regulator with a Dorman unit and went bad after only a month. I will keep buying aftermarket because most times they work. Don't buy aftermarket on hard to install parts or parts that cannot be returned.
I have a 2005 corolla xrs 6 speed and had to search The world for a secondary air injection pump and valve. They don't make them anymore so basically only dealers have them in stock. Cost over $700 for both parts and car runs great. He is correct that only O.E.M. is the way to go. It took me searching the internet etc to locate the parts but luckily got them in time for inspection time. Great video
Eric O. hates DORMAN
Peter , You do know that DOREMAN is junk.
Dorman is garbage. I had the same IAC valve problem in my Sienna. Took it off and drowned it in throttle body cleaner several times. Fixed the problem.
dormans mostly junk
where she located. ill buy it. if price isnt ridiculous.
Wonderful analysis and resolution Peter! Please keep up the excellent work!
You have me worried thinking that ]the screws that need to be removed in order to clean the IAC were not removable because I've done this job on 4 different Toyota camrys without any problem as a preventive maintenance job 400 dollars is too much money if I can clean it myself.
Sounds like Toyota wanting to make a quick buck to me…
