Needed a new alternator for my 01.

Bought a brand new mopar unit since I try to avoid reman stuff when possible.

Take it out of the box, give the pulley a spin and 'click click click click click click click click click'

Grrrrrr :(

Thanks but I bought another new Mopar one from Rock Auto .... just wanted to vent that the Mexican on the assembly line couldn't be bothered to take 1 second to spin it to make sure it's good

It just feels like the quality of the auto sector - parts and labor - has gone into the toilet these days.

A persons race has nothing to do with your bad part….i would hope a site moderator would address this.

If something is marked as made in mexico who do you think made it? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Besides being a racist comment, you have no idea how the part is manufactured and therefore if any worker has even an opportunity to “test” it
Therefore your comment was not only racist but also stupid
Your post only reflects poorly on 1 person….you
