Norm, you are missing the point here. First, if you re read my post it says $17.99 "plus shipping". I am not sure what shipping would be to everyone here. But... the real point is, many of us want to work on our cars and not pay some one to do it for us. Also, for those that don't have over $100 to spend and have pleanty of "time" it is something that is doable. I spent a little over and hour of actual time on it but with interuptions in the shop it ended up closer to 2 hours. Yes, my time is worth way more that the cost of a high priced unit. But then, this part sat around here for days because I was working on customers cars. When I was not doing a single thing, I broke out the part and did the job on the sender. Total cost was about $25 and the labor was time I had on my hands with nothing to do.. Besides, I enjoyed doing it and "THAT" is valued as "priceless!!" Anyway, if some of you prefer buying a high priced part go right ahead. Hey, bring it to my shop and pay me. For those that want to actually do the work themselves, go for it...
