- 02 XLS
I needed a new 4x4 module for my 02 XLS so I began looking on the internet for a bargain. I did find quite a few on Ebay and other discount auto parts websites. I bought one on Ebay from "fordpartsguys." When it arrived I noticed that the part number on the box did not match the part number on the module itself. I contacted the seller and was told to disregard the number on the module as that is the "engineering number" and the part they sent is the correct part my my Explorer.
Is there a difference between a "part number" and "engineering number."
I did a little research and found that "fordpartsguys" also does business as Silverstate Auto Parts, fordautopartsdirect.com, and Gaudin Ford. They do sell parts 40-50% below list price, but I'm wondering if these are new parts, refurbished, or perhaps even used.
Anyone else deal with these people?
