Where are y'all getting factory replacement parts from? I need a few factory replacement parts now, and haven't been keeping tabs on the LS1Tech.com like I used to - I vaguely recall a few sponsoring dealership parts departments, but don't see them listed anymore. Where are y'all getting your factory replacement items now?
Looking for rear bump stops, tranny mount, and a coolant level sensor. And maybe some power steering hoses...
Thanks!

I have a business account with a local Chevy dealer, so I get decent discounts through them. I get most everything for all my GM cars from there.
If you plan to buy parts in bulk, you might want to look into opening an account with a local dealer.....

In the past I've gotten some parts through local dealers, some from Gene at Fred Beans Pontiac (only big things, shipping made it not worth it on smaller items) and my service manuals came from Dal at Lambert. But I was hoping for something with an online parts catalog - a little easier than sitting on the phone with someone trying to figure out wat the PN is for the particular power steering hose you need.
This is mostly because I've been spoiled buying BMW parts - there are a ton of top notch places with online parts catalogs, and diagrams showing everything down to the smallest crush washer.
