gm 263 transfer case

This morning we got in a 263 xhd transfer case that is out of a 2003 2500hd pick up truck which ran out of oil. This unit takes the gm blue fluid also this case is made out magnesium. In the picture on top is the range fork that shoulkd have plastic pads
which as you can see are no longer there. They melted from lack of fluid and the fork is worn down to nothing.

china products they have to go

I no the the reason china has become the go to place for product and that is simply cost but who's saving. You see the way I see it we were sold out and all the name brands have gone to china and just banked on there name for the seal of quality which most if not all china products lack. And yes it helped their bottom line but look around jobs are gone cost of some of these products have not come down and yet it cost them less to make. I believe that if just one company would bring back the factory here and broad cast that it has moved all it operations back home they would be most welcome and I think people would seek out there products before the china junk. And slowly others will follow suit. In the days to come I will point out much more you see if you open a hardwear store on main st usa and acroos the street another hardwear store opens that good for business because now people have a choice and better service and better business win out. But when a hardwear store opens on main street usa and the other hardwear store opens across the ocean and has no store slave labor no quailty and no responabilty and and cost is much cheaper but the poduct is junk the hardwear on main street usa has to close look around people this once great place usa is closing down. don,t let it happen.
