 ACDelco 217-2296 GM Original Equipment 12568580

When the mechanic says you need a new throttle body it normally means a LOT of money. The labor involved along with the part can really add up. With most parts like this it is normally best (if you decide to do the job) to replace with the OE part. It doesn't make any sense to pay all of that labor money on a vital component and have it fail shortly afterwards. At Autopartstomorrow.com we have the original part number in stock and ready to ship. The best part is we have it at true wholesale pricing. Call the dealership and check our price... we have been told in the past they are about twice what we charge. The job is still going to be painful to pay for, but with the savings you get from us maybe it helps make more sense and ease the suffering just a little. If you have any questions at all, or if you need assistance in confirming the right part number, call our team of experts and we will be glad to help. 

For much quicker response time, and to get more exact fitment questions answered we find it is always best to speak with you live, so that we might ask any questions the catalog presents. We want to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. It is also very helpful if you have the vehicle identification number (VIN) from your insurance card available when you contact us. Please call 1-866-545-2035 and speak with one of our highly trained, experienced parts experts (available 9AM-5PM EST). We look forward to hearing from you!

Need Some Auto Parts?

I can remember back when I was in High School and working at the local Chevron Full Service Service station and the Snap-On truck pulled into the parking lot. We had three mechanics that manned the three bays of our shop and all work would come to a stop.

Now they didn't have a model like the one in the picture, but what they did have was tools, really good tools. Not only did they have tools, but the air conditioning kept the back of that truck at about 60 degrees vs. the 118 degrees outside. It was a spectacular marketing plan... Go to where the mechanic is, offer him the tools he needs, give him a lifetime warranty, and make the experience fun and refreshing. Nowadays you would be hard pressed to go into any top-line mechanics area and not see the trademark red tool chests with lined drawers and THOUSANDS of dollars worth of Snap-On tools; they took over the market.

That is sort of what we are looking to do here at Autopartstomorrow. We have a great line-up of auto parts. We are selling those auto parts at true wholesale pricing, and our overnight shipping guarantee is unheard of. For the mechanic that would prefer to install OE parts on his valued customers cars, we have now provided him with a convenient solution. He can now advise that customer that by waiting one day they can have Original Equipment Auto Parts for about the same thing as aftermarket. If they choose aftermarket parts they can cut 20-40 percent off of their bill. Either way, everyone is happy... and that is what we are all about!

Is This Part Original Equipment?

The answer to this question is becoming more obscure each year. We are an authorized distributor of, under contract with, ACDelco and Motorcraft. Our business model, beginning in 1924, is to play our role in the distribution chain for GM and Ford parts divisions. As such we buy millions of dollars in auto parts each month straight from the manufacturers regional warehouses so that we will have them locally available to dealerships in our areas. If you take your vehicle to a GM or Ford service department in our area, and they need a part that is not in stock, they will pick up the phone or order that part online from our parent company... and we will put it in a delivery truck and get it to them ASAP. Even if it comes from their stock, if it is ACDelco or Motorcraft, chances are they got it from us.

Now back to the complicated part of the question. Over the years GM and Ford have slowly changed the process by which they have their parts manufactured. It used to be that most parts were actually made in their own plants. Little by little they have offered the rights to supply these parts to other manufacturers who agree to build the parts to their very strict engineering guidelines, at the cost needed (a bidding process). As such, it is possible that the actual OE part that comes in a Motorcraft or ACDelco box may be marked as a Standard or Four Seasons or any other manufacturer. As an example, I was speaking with a woman just the other day who said the original ECM on her Pontiac Vibe had a Toyota label on it.

In today's interrelated world there are many opportunities to streamline manufacturing processes and save on production costs by using this bidding process. It should not however cause anyone to lose faith in the actual part provided in a manufacturer box. The same stringent engineering guidelines are applied to the process, whether the part is made next door in a warehouse owned by the manufacturer, or overseas on a contract basis. The company making the part understands that if at any point there is a breakdown in the quality standards dictated, they could lose the contract and potentially be out of business. It is different than the old days, but seems to be working better in cost, quality and speed of delivery. We will stand behind these products because we have seen that they are indeed the best available for OE applications.
