Yesterday, I stopped at my local Dodge dealer's part department and purchased a oil plug washer (aka seal - oil plug) for a 1997 5.9 Cummins. I was shocked

when I learned the prices was $14.14 list or $9.40 net. I did not realize the metal portion of the washer was made out of gold. Why else would the washer be so expensive??
Has anyone else encountered similar prices??
