Stock up on old stock? Contitech TB252 70,000 miles or 8 years.
Ummmm ... sarcasm much? Check out the thread - we're advocating spending up and being safe. These are timing path parts.

So what the heck were you asking there, anyway?

It was a straight and simple question. There is no way to improve it or dumb it down.

Continental Contitech does have a install by date.

Do you think Continental does this because their stuff is inferior or or because their reputation is more important than a quick sale?

What is your quantification of we, as used above?

Obviously by your use of the word we, you are one member of the set. Who are the other members or do you stand alone, as in We = Me, Myself and I?
