So the second one came today.
The box actually has a label on it:
The machining isn't that great, but it's almost flat. I didn't use the gasket and used Yamabond #4 instead. It also came with a better donut shape to the tub and housing... and had a dessicant packet in the box. I wonder, even though the box was identical (except the label) and the donut was a smidge different... everything was packaged the same, similar markings on the tower, if it was actually a gray market item or something. Or destined for another market. I don't know.
The new inner shift boot came also (the old one had actually worn through). The inner shift boot was a made in usa mopar but it was bent a little I think from bouncing around in the parts bin for years.
I find it really irritating that the dropshippers Rockauto uses send sparkplugs loose in the box with heavy **** like shocks.
Speaking of spark plugs, I'd like to use this opportunity to make fun of Chrysler for having to take the intake off to change the spark plugs.
