Truck Driving Jobs

Long story short, I need a 13" stainless Steel Donaldson air cleaner and the straps to mount it to the truck(07 KW W900B). I have tried the usual suspects (ebay, local junk yards etc) and have encountered these problems...

1. Ebay Guy has several for sale with a good price but not 100% sure it will fit and he has NO return policy. I don't want to get stuck with a $800 paper weight. Or possibly have it arrive and fit but look like poo

2. Local junk yards are either unwilling or unable to supply one.

3. Dealer....$2400, need I say more?

So does anyone know of a cheap place to pick one up online?

Sounds like kind of a rare animal.

In all the years I've been around this sh*t, all the Donaldsons that I've seen have been painted steel ones.

And if we could drag you out of a Mack ....:lol:

This is turning into a real pain in the rear, and expensive pain at that

Check out: http://www.richardkernstruckparts.com/ They may not have it, but worth checking into. I have called them on parts and emailed them telling them what I needed and requested price. Email took 2 to 3 days for a reply.

Did you check with your insurance company to cover it ?

Yes, the guy who hit me had insurance and I have already gotten a check, would like to turn a profit if at all possible.

I couldn't get a direct link to the page to work so you'll have to navigate the site a little. I think it was under "Universal parts/air cleaners." I don't see a price either.

Also you could try 4 state trucks.

I didn't see yours but if you call they might be able to help.
