We’re long on OE FIX parts for the most common OEM shortcomings SOLVED FREQUENTLY PROBLEMS 1
As of this publication, we have about 2,000 OE FIX parts in our catalog. Some of these are individual products that solve particular problems unique to certain vehicle applications. A good example is our 615-380 OE FIX intake manifold, featured in OE FIX Guide Vol. 2, that fixes a particularly problematic PCV valve on Ecotec engines. We have hundreds of these one-off solutions. Meanwhile, there are many other parts that feature similar improvements, because many OEMs design their parts similarly. These endemic flaws are what lead to our most consistent OE FIX parts.
