well I personally havent had a bad experience, but from all the things i hear on here i never take my chances with them. ive only bought one thing from them which are OK, but nothing from LMC seems to really fit in our trucks.

Well, LMC it is, and here's why......

NPD says they have to ship it by truck for $150, which is a total crock.

LMC will ship UPS, with a $20 oversize fee.

By the way, NPD's price has gone up to $149.

I've usually get my stuff from Blue Oval Truck Parts, but its mostly because its local for me so I pick everything up. There have been times when he didn't have what I needed and he got it from LMC for me, and I haven't had any major issues with it that I can think of so far.

I've gotten a number of things from LMC, and have had no complaints.

I have had no problems with LMC. They sent me one part that wrong but they replaced it as soon as I called. Customer service was good.
