Appliance parts like auto parts then are going to the dogs :( .

Used to be when you ordered AC Delco parts for a GM car you got the same part as the dealer for less money through the aftermarket.

Now you'll get the aftermarket part. Buy a Delco thermostat? Suprise, it's a Stant for more money. Buy Delco brakes? Surprise, Raybestos for more money. Delco water pump? TRW for more money.

As the applications age, they farm out. And the applications don't have to be that old now either.

It's terrible :( .

Shame to see appliance parts are going this way, too.
