RIM has ordered up 20 of the 19338055 Cabin Filters and the order canceled because it is a future part not available. HUH I have been selling these for years and average around 40 per month. I called RIM and the agent must have been having a bad day (join the crowd) because his answer was to temporarily exclude it for ten weeks. I told him that was no answer and what do I do about the 40 sales per month. What do I do when we run out? He said that’s the only answer he has and said have a nice day and hung up. WTF is going on!!! I know that the 19338054 and 19338055 are the same size filter and the only difference is the material BUT……..What happens when we double the demand on the 19338054….YUP GM will run out. I am tired of these half assed answers from GM and the lack of anyone willing to fix the problems they create. Has anyone heard anything about this???????

We sell 10 a month and I have 20 left. I do see that there is no stock available and its now a future part. Good Grief.

You can use the gm oe number 13508023 as the 19338055 is the ac deco professional version of the filter

Correct but you make an extra $1.20 on each 19338055 you bill

Not if you don't have them to sell....

Are you selling the 19338055 at the price of the 13508023 or are you on a family pricing menu?

INTERNALLY I SELL THE 13508023, CP I SELL EVERY CABIN FILTER AT A HIGHER FAMILY PRICE INCLUDING 19338055. WHICH MEANS I CAN MAKE MORE PROFIT ON THE 19338055

When the aftermarket cabin filters came out there retail price was around 20-25 dollars. i started family pricing them for 30. was still a lot cheaper then the oe at around $55.then GM used all our info that it collects and raised there prices by double cost. The cabin filter i was making a killing on then i make barely on. i still family price them at 35
