: Does anyone know where the internals are made? dmax diesel 09-23-2008, 01:47 AM Come on someone has to know something. Like where are they made in china,mexico,USA where?? usafracer 09-23-2008, 03:55 AM In a factory torqueofthetown 09-23-2008, 04:16 AM the engine assembly plant is being built in Ohio.....But I don't know whether the parts are actually made there or not. bzduramax 09-26-2008, 10:27 AM Next time you go to Walmart... Check every item you can and tell me how many you find that AREN'T made in China...... torqueofthetown 09-26-2008, 02:05 PM Next time you go to Walmart... Check every item you can and tell me how many you find that AREN'T made in China...... And thats cause as a whole, Americans demand cheaper prices over made in the USA. Generally speaking, companies are just trying to meet our demands and if Americans demanded products be in the USA, they would be. But we don't so they don't. Again speaking overall, I'm sure some of you would gladly pay double the price, but I'm speaking overall. pknowles 09-26-2008, 03:08 PM Next time you go to Walmart... Check every item you can and tell me how many you find that AREN'T made in China...... Cheap labor and a work force that is scared to fight for more pay for fear of replacement or worse. It's defiantly not right, but no country can compete with China's basically slave labor. The UAW work force is by far superior in producing quality parts then the Chinese, but just over $70/hour (UAW worker, wage and benefits) vs just under $1/hour (Chinese) is imposible to compete with. Edit: Found $70/hour from here (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/13/u-of-m-economics-professor-tackles-tough-question-of-uaw-wages/) have no idea if that is correct. fire0021 09-26-2008, 04:20 PM Does anyone know where the internals are made at in the new 4.5 like the valves, pistons, rods etc. probbaly the same place tht makes the lmm-lbz pistons yung dung sum piston company or crap like tht same place tht makes daewoo pistons torqueofthetown 09-26-2008, 05:12 PM Cheap labor and a work force that is scared to fight for more pay for fear of replacement or worse.

Dang, $70/hour....now I know why all the new auto assembly plants are in mostly NON UAW states.... dmax diesel 09-26-2008, 09:04 PM Next time you go to Walmart...

There is a place in Cali. that's located in Chula Vista . Southern cal.. That is Jasper Racing components this place manufacters all kinds of eng. related parts pieces,of many sorts,so there you go ssm58 10-25-2008, 09:58 AM If more people would be at least a little bit picky about where the products they buy are made vs cheapest price, the usa would not have nearly the economical problems we do now. When you CAN find made in USA it usually does not cost that much more and is usually better quality and helps keep your own job and your neighbors, I`m done. kneedrager428 10-25-2008, 03:19 PM If more people would be at least a little bit picky about where the products they buy are made vs cheapest price, the usa would not have nearly the economical problems we do now.

Every time I go to Home depot or Lowes or anyplace for that matter I try to stick to USA made!! A couple of dollars more is usually the difference so I pay it. fire0021 10-26-2008, 12:38 PM :cool: Yah I"m an engineer,and have the inside news of pretty much where these parts are going to be processsed.
