[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3619079, member: 5412"] This is probably going to end up as a Ram vs Ford Shatstorm, so I’ll contribute. Ford along with all auto manufacturers rely on outside vendors to supply parts. ALL auto manufacturers suffer bad products from their suppliers because they are the lowest bidder for that part. My FIL that passed a year ago ran a chrome plating shop in Detroit that survived on work from the auto industry. He told me that some bids we so close that it went to 1/4 of a penny to win the bid, so the contractors had to develop a way to keep the shop alive. The only way was to cut corners on the finished product. [/QUOTE]
