I reckon it require too much effort on Briggs or PartSmart to get off their dead backsides and correct online info after 6 4 yrs.
PartsSmart
IS ARI . Partsmart was the first online web based parts lookup available from ARI, AFAIK and licensed to manufacturers, then later they licensed it out to individual Large Scale dealers (Partstree.com most notably) And then they started marketing online parts lookup to individual dealers at inflated licensing fees under annual contracts, and within just a few years they then came out with their $199/month Partstream offering (pissed me off because 5 months earlier, their salesman pushed me into a 1 year commit on their $1200/month parts lookup for website, and never even mentioned it to me.. and Partstream was far better than Partsmart was) But, it is pretty much all ARI these days (and I am sure they also managed to over-sell unknowing dealerships into a contract for a cookie-cutter PartsSmart enabled website hosted by , you guessed it, ARI)
If you get the impression that I am not impressed with ARI, then I'd say it is an understatement....
