Something else to ponder on. Just because it's made offshore, China, Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Italy, etc, doesn't mean that its an inferior product. Believe me those Countries and others have the capabilties of making parts just as good as we could do here........just not at the price point we are willing to pay for them...........
Well stated, Cliff. Of the Cummins 6B and 6BT forgings we used to regrind some of the better ones were from Brazil. The best were from Great Britain and Germany. The worst? Mexico. U.S. and Japanese forging were on par with the Brazilian forgings.
