MADE IN CHINA

[slow eddie]

just bought a new master cylinder for my girlfriend's jeep. made in china. big notice on the box saying that the unit was bench tested. unfortunatly whoever tested the unit must have a bad batch of fried rice. where the two brake lines are supposed to screw in, there was a major boo-boo. it seems that the holes were tapped and then countersunk. it took me over 3 hrs. to lap the threads so i could atttche the lines. quality control in NOT in the chinese language

well since they don't buy much from us, ship all their crap right back to them in the ships that must return there mostly empty to deal with until they get it right! I am sick of putting up with inferior junk.
if we let them screw us, they'll keep on screwing us

they want our debt paid, maybe if 90% of their product was not junk, we could make money with their stuff to pay them back.

Blame goes to American big business !
They are the ones outsourcing every product they can.
Some products it's a matter they can't compete with price. some blame goes to the unions.

Definitely correct. And if you want the Chinese QC to acrually screw a test threaded piece into the ports they will be glad to do. They will simply tell the american importer that its 3 cents more and the importer will say 3 cents more?? no way , forget the extra QC".. That is exactly how it works so be careful where you point the finger of blame.

Have that picture framed! Someday something with Made in the USA stamped into it will be a collectors item!

Ron i hope your truck is American made.I might be old fashion but to me toyota and any other foriegn car now made in this country is still out of bounds far as i'm concerned.I know we all have products made in ----- in our tackle bags that should be made here in the States.I don't think any of us really like it,i know i don't.I'll pay more for something made in the USA than an imported product.Seemingly inpossible to have all American made products in your tackle bag buying as much stuff made here as you can is what we need to do to try to get things turned around.Easy to buy the stuff that will save you money but look what's happened.You can blame the big companys but if you bite on there i'll save the American people money Think again.It's up to us to correct this,big corporations will NEVER care about us.

Rumor has it that most Toyota vehicles are more American-made than any of our "domestic" vehicles.
