I'm trying to find a CDR. Does anyone but the dealer carry it? If so who has the best price? I called NAPA, and a few other stores and no one even has a listing.

If you're talking about the tuna can, I'm not sure. After several years of comparing parts between the dealer and the local parts store, I realized that the dealer was giving me the "inside" price and the parts store was still screvving me. Unless it's a cast metal part, such as an intake, I usually just get it at the dealer. If it's cast, GM wants such a crazy price for it, it's rediculous. In that case, I usually have my bro-in-law (a mechanic who owns his own shop) get me the part from a parts store chain that he has a "deal" with. What he gets it for usually blows the doors off the price GM wants for those kind of parts.

I paid $47.xx for my tuna can from the dealer just a couple of weeks ago. Let me know if it can be had elsewhere for less.

FYI: I see them for sale on Ebay every once in a while.
