Had to replace the glow plug relay on my Powerstroke yesterday,
Went to NAPA because I didn't want some off brand made in you know where. Got an Echlin brand, $83, felt good until I turned it over when installing,and there on the bottom stamped made in China. What are we coming too?

Its called cheap labor and the fact we in many ways have priced our self's out of jobs when you can have a slave labor do it fir pennies on a dollar. Sad thing is that is what Japan did a few years before they sank the ships in HI

We are not coming to anything - we are already a participant in a global economy where our elevated standard of living has turned us into consumers rather than producers.
