Don't sweat it... This is a litigation happy society. If you are
confident of what your doing go for it --if your not, learn more and then
decide. If you are confident, just smile and say, "no problem" when the
manager says, "this is your responso, kid". I've run into some cross eyed
looks when I asked for mod parts... Usually I can cut 'em off at the knees
when we discuss the +/- of the part (thanks to the DML and some experience)
otherwise I just tell 'em to give me the part that fits and have a nice
day. ;-)
Just my $.02

I went into Pepboys today to pick up a 180 degree thermostat, and so I went
to the parts department. I told them I had a 1993 Dodge Dakota w/ a V-8. He
looked at me and said "Son, do you nkow whar you are doing?" and I said
"Trying to buy a 180 degree thermostat and a gasket" This went on for 3 of 4
minutes! He told me the computer might read it wrong and something could go
wrong. I would tell him that I know of some people who have done the same
thing to their Dakotas. Finally, he called his manager up to the front, we
talked for a few minutes, and finally he sold me the thing! As I was leaving
he said "Your doin' this at your own risk, we arent takin no responsobility"
Sheesh, what a hassle. Maybe I will try AutoZone next time =)
