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

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?

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

That’s incredibly racist and stupid comment. Wow. Best if you apologize and stop posting anything on this feed.

"Mexican" is a nationality, not a race. It's generalizing to bash on Mexicans as a whole, but it's not racist. You can bash on Americans, Canadians, whatever, same deal. It's at least probable that a Mexican factory worker played a big role in making that part, and that a Mexican QC worker missed it. But maybe it was damaged in shipping. Maybe parts in that alternator were bad and came from somewhere else. Maybe it was QC'd somewhere else. Who knows. That said, ****** parts can and do come from anywhere. Glad you got a new one. Moving on.
