Can never trust new parts

[efnfast]

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

Your local Autozone might have one. If not, I have a used one for sale

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.

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.

It’s not the worker’s attitude but rather yours that is the problem
