When it comes time to purchase heavy duty replacement parts for your truck, there are a number of reasons to choose aftermarket instead of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Chief among them: saving money.

Being budget-conscious is a big reason to go aftermarket. While prices can vary widely between manufacturers, doing a little bit of homework will help you narrow down your choices. By determining how much a specific part usually costs (something you can find by researching OEM replacement parts), you'll be able to quickly determine exactly how much you can save by shopping aftermarket.

But don't let the less expensive price tags fool you - buying your heavy duty replacement parts from the aftermarket does not mean you will be skimping on quality. In fact, the quality can sometimes be even greater than OEM. This is because companies like Fleetspec reverse-engineer the part itself, ensuring any weaknesses are removed. With OEM parts, the manufacturer needs to take into account a number of factors that will affect their sale - namely, balancing quality pieces with a quiet ride. With aftermarket parts, the number one concern is high quality pieces above all else. While there may be "noise", you can be assured that the part you are using is up to impeccable standards of quality and safety.

With aftermarket parts, you never have to settle. The selection is vast, giving you more room to shop around for the absolute best heavy duty part for your truck. Thanks to this greater variety, you get selection and pricing that fits you and your budget. It also means that it's unlikely you have to wait to get the part you need. The availability of aftermarket heavy duty parts is far greater than OEM, meaning you will be back on the road in no time.
