Richmond gears are now made in India

I like to see what the union execs make..I hate unions....but....

I'm on my 3rd china junk ford style solenoid, the first one was stuck on from the get go and the 2nd one stuck on after 1/2 day..the one I had on my car didn't like me removing the wires to set up the battery in in the trunk..

Unions have their faults...no question....but without them, we are left to the mercy of the company executives to decide what our labor is worth, what benefits we are entitled to, and what conditions we have to deal with on the job..... and that is never any good for the average working man.

this is going off topic and getting political, which will send it off to OT land.... monitoring....

I like it when the cheap junk sold nowadays has a good warrenty. It's like 'oh my part failed after only 2 weeks, but hey I can get a new replacement for free so I can put on the same inferior junk part so it can fail again in a week and I can go through the PITA of doing it all over again'. Of course no one pays you for your time having to do the labor.

My brand new 'quality' waterpump I installed on my fresh engine failed after about 700 miles. Changing a water pump on an Olds with all those brackets and such is a huge hassle, but hey, I got a brand new junk replacement pump for free! Now it's only a matter of time before it starts to leak.

I hear you there. I am glad products have a warranty but I never want to use it and I do not expect to use it. Like you said, great I can replace my junk with more junk....awesome.

Cheese n rice...I just wanted to let those who didn't know, know, you know. I ordered mine from Summit and they are exchanging them for some Motive gears (which I don't care if they're made in India because they have held up a reputation of being a good gear, plus they state Made in India right on the box). It just eats up my time and put me back at least a week on my rear end upgrade.
