GOD I am so sick of the crap we get sold from that stink hole on the other side of the planet !! when will it end,China is screwing us so bad .
I ordered a new A/C kit for the Dodge from discount a/c . so kit arrives and I go to install a/c in to the truck, and find wrong expansion valve so I hunt around town and find the right one .I installed the system and after the charge I cant get the high side over 100 psi,HUM bad exp. valve ...bad comp,? so I check temp and its 48* so i think maybe my gauge? Ill drive it a while and see... 12hrs later I smell freon and smoke jump out to find the back of the a/c comp blown out I make a call and they over night a new comp , well now I need more oil and have to reflush and new seals ,fast forward to yesterday .So the systems ready for the recharge and after a few sec. I engage the comp ...or try, and now my ($#&*) wire go up in smoke...what the HEdouble tooth picks? I hunt around and narrow it down to the new comp DEAD SHORT IN THE COIL...I walk of calmly and get a cold drink so i decide I will just pull the clutch off the broken comp right? well vac. system and pull the comp AGAIN! well after a few more hrs I'm up and running yaaaaa nice cold air good psi on high & low side ..about time . so off I go for a ride and back home , 4 hrs go by and I go out the the shop and walk by the truck, hummm what is that hissing sound? %$@#!@$#%$^#& new pressure switch let go and leaked most of the freon out So after 15+ hrs and way to many attempts its now holding....but for how long? and to top it off after dinner to night I go to install a new push button starter switch in the riding mower only to find it wont start,oh flown fuse new fuse pops what the @^%#%#$@ OK cant be ...sure enough dead short in the switch I HATE THAT GARBAGE HOLE COUNTRY CHINA and the people who import this junk it is so stinking hard to find made in USA any more.

 

Without going into any detail......I Feel Your Pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats who we need to stone.
The importers sell a product that they say is going to work at marked up prices.
But if they are not going to do quality control checks on the stuff, yet they are going to profit from selling the cheap stuff,
than they should pay for the extra time and effort it takes for the consumer to make it right.
I realize that it would drive the price up on that cheap stuff but maybe thats what needs to happen.
Than they might move the manufacturing back to the US.

 

At my job we get stuff from that place, I hear you loud and clear...

MIC= low end garbage.

America wants cheap though, so live with it. My problem with it is that people in this country have such low expectations that most will accept a crap sandwich and just keep on chewin.

Tastes horrible , but hey, it was cheap. I get to hold on to a couple dollars a little longer!!! Yeeehaw.

I will avoid it at all costs when I can, its why I work, to save up for the quality stuff.

Sorry you had such trouble, but please don't sound so surprised next time! Haa haa.

 

That's good you held it together that long grrrrr

well, looking at the investment stuff, it seems that africa is the new gold rush for cheap land, labor, and investment stuff for new factories with zero regulations......

so you all can thank Congress for all their lil secret investments in new cheap products and labor from africa.....say hi to hillary clinton, the future queen.
the usa manufacturers/arms dealers/ect love it because everyone needs security.....

need an alien takeover now....lol

 

It's all about the MONEY.

 

There are at least a few things still made in America...


Immigrants are making americans .....as they take about 9 months till the timer pops out...

Debt

Reality shows...


Oh yeah, and this ..... if you believe all the hype

Yea, tell me about the crappy products. 10 ply tires that came on my dump trailer. No option for anything else. They leaked like a sieve. When you sprayed soapy water on them to see where the leak was, the whole thing started to foam like it had rabies. You cant plug something that has 500,000 pin holes. I threw in a half a gallon of tire slime and it lasted another year and then the tread separated from the cords. Put on a nice set of used firestone truck tires and have not looked back (yes I know you're not supposed to put truck tires on a trailer).

 

Maybe I will get flack about this...Japan doesn't seem to flood the world with poor products..

I have a friend that is Japanese,and he just hates with the chinese flooding poor products...

I try to buy north american products...There is hardly nothing being produce in Canada or the USA anymore...

 

Not a new problem My '93 D350 was made in Mexico.

Ran into an interesting factoid yesterday at work. We're making some tanks for China. Per the customer, there is to be no Chinese metal in them.

They're selling us crap they won't use themselves.

 

The things we get at my job is metal, supposed to be very strong steel

I for one would be thankful to know that my tank was not made of that...
