You need to find a cooperative dealer or a 1M vin number.
Most are under instruction to not provide assistance without a VIN.

Alternatively, use an online ETK and gather your list that way and just ask by part number to save the ballache. The onus is then on you to choose the right stuff because you can't blame the interpreter if you happen to get the wrong part
