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.

Stupid and uneducated comment regarding the line worker

Cars today are piece of garbage.

Car parts today are pieces of garbage.

Workers' attitude are in the toilet.

Society's a ******** these days. We need to go back 20 years in time.
