Workplace DEI Training - Effective for Parts Purchase!

[doitmyself]

Diversity/Equity/Inclusion: My internationally sourced: Rock Auto parts purchase arrived yesterday. Went with all MOPAR parts based on aftermarket opinions here:

Sway bar bushings and end links: U.S. made
Belt Tensioner and one pulley: Canada
One pulley: Germany

Mopar Serpentine Belt: Thailand (same as my underwear)! Anyone know who the mfg. might be? Bando? Mitsuboshi? Should I be concerned with COO?

If it is an OE belt, I would not be concerned at all. I would be careful to ensure they are genuine, but that is a different issue and RA should be OK.

This thread is WOKE!

Thailand is well-established in the rubber industry.

Probably Mitsuboshi, could be Bando, could even be Gates/Unitta. Do you have any pictures?

I don't think you will have any problem with the Mopar belt being from Thailand, even though they're afraid to name the supplier

Why would a company feel the need to educate employees about Dale Earnhardt Incorporated? It no longer exists.

I wouldn't be concerned about Thai parts. Goodyear, Michelin, and Pirelli make tires there. Triumph makes motorcycles there and ships them to England. HiFlo filters made K&N oil filters back when they were considered good and still makes quality motorcycle oil filters. If it's OEM Mopar, then it's as good as anything marked Mopar.

DEI actually still exists. They are a fairly large parts manufacturer for stock cars and provide technical assistance to smaller teams. They have a chassis dyno and I think a seven post shaker rig that they rent out.
