How to Find Out If Parts Will Fit Your Truck

• Finding parts to fit your truck can be a hassle,
  especially if you're trying to buy them online.

Photos of parts are often small and it's hard to
tell if a pictured part is what you need. Your
mechanic or dealership may have the part you
need, but their prices are often relatively
expensive. Knowing which brands and styles fit
your truck will help, and you can access this
information for free without having to call your
mechanic.
Call a local dealership that services your
truck's make. Some car manufacturers sell
replacement parts that are guaranteed to fit your
vehicle. Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Subaru
vehicles all take Mopar parts, and Ford uses its
Motorcraft brand parts for its vehicles. In-house
brands will fit your truck, but it is usually
much more expensive to purchase from a dealer
than if you purchase them online. The Chrysler,
Jeep and Dodge dealership in Simi Valley,
California, gave a quote of 100 for a side-view
mirror replacement part, but the same part is
listed on amazon.com for 35. Research thoroughly
to ensure that you get the best deal.

Visit a reputable auto parts retailer's website
to be sure that you are getting the correct
information for your truck. Sites such as
costco.com, amazon.com or motors.ebay.com offer
various auto parts and free searchable databases
of parts by year, make and model. Enter your
truck's information, including its year, make and
model, into the corresponding fields.
If you are looking for tires, costco.com's
database will tell you which types it has in
stock that will fit your truck. Motors.ebay.com
allows you to search by part type, such as
"brakes" and "interior parts" for your truck's
year, make and model, and amazon.com's "Part
Finder" will tell you if a specific part you view
on the site is compatible with your
truck. Purchase your part. When you receive it,
bring it to your mechanic to double-check that it
will fit your truck. He can install the part if
it is a direct fit. If you are installing the
part yourself, compare it to your current or old
part to see that it is the same size and style
before you install it.
