Best place to buy pyrometer in a hurry?

[Cubey]

I'm sure that the answer is O'Reilly's but figured I'd ask.

if I I can't get the old Banks pyrometer working on the van, I'll probably just have to buy a new one before I start heading into the mountains.

Got a Pete dealership near by?

I actually was in Oreallys last week looking for a pyrometer and
1: they didn't have any in stock
2: the ones they order start at like $250

so... this probably doesn't help at all but hope you don't waste any time and money at oreilly

Agreed, I would look for something that deals with big trucks… not automotive…

Here in Indy we have a place called TruckPro…

Think NAPA, or AutoZone, but for big trucks…. Ours is near a huge truck stop and several truck dealers….

There's an International dealer a mile from my mom's house.

Autometer was the fastest thing i could my hands on years ago - local parts store.

Today, i'd prob peruse amazon's selection and have it in 2-3 days.

Amazon is 5-7 days anymore. Everything was showing me Tuesday delivery, far too late

Get a thermolaser thingy and leave your dog box off.

I mean… that works… I guess… I’d still rather a pyro

You can filter Amazon results to only look at ones that can be delivered tomorrow. It may be different where you live, but I saw a good number of options available for overnight delivery through Amazon.

IME, amazon delivery times and fees vary quite a bit, by location and other logistics quirks.

Eh, I don't want to be in a hurry to buy such a thing. I'll just borrow the one from the RV to take along in my carry-on. Once I get back, I can look into buying a cheaper one to stick on the RV, if i can't get the Banks one working.

The International dealer had none, backordered.

The isspro one's probe doesn't seem too eager to move, and I don't want to break it, so it'll stay on the RV.

I ordered a $250 (w/tax) Autometer gauge to be delivered to O'Reilly's there where I'm picking up the van, so if i can't get the Banks one working, I'll have a new one to put on before i head back.

If i get the Banks one working, it can be returned unopened.

And if i need it, i could later order another "ship to home" one for less money (with a promo code) and return it to O'Reilly's on the higher priced receipt.... they might not like it but...
