Ive been delivering the complete exhaust systems for all vehicles for the past 8 years, it did shock me at first when dodge started shipping the $4500 dpf filters back in late 06, and I had to consign for each one, I delivered 3 per week to multiple dealers until dodge figured our the dpf's weren't failing, it was just some programming they had to do. As a delivery driver, its kinda scary to have to be responsible for those things, the ford system is $7500, and when I deliver the semi truck scr/dpf unit its $11500. but after Schneider or ups or fedex deliver them to my terminal, I do inspect all of them before I load them and ive never seen any kind of abuse, dropping, or damage ever, now the little boxes form ups, that's a different story, but we do take care of those parts. What you guys don't see is behind the lines of us freight guys, we have a job to do, and a job to keep and if we were abusive or negligent with the end customers parts, there are tons of new carriers or companies that would love to take my job, so don't worry, ive delivered 4000 of the emissions system components over the years and never seen any problems.
