-In some cases, manufacturers have discontinued parts or updated them with new part numbers. When this is the case, a suffix letter (//A-Z//) is added to the part number. Parts with identical numbers except for the suffix letter should be functionally identical. Unless noted, newer parts (higher letter) should be drop-in replacements, and where a choice of OEM((Original Equipment Manufacturer part)) parts does exist, the newer part should be preferred. However, in every such case, care should be taken to verify that the replacement will work satisfactorily. +  * **[[MetaTek Parts]]**
