Sourcing a new ac compressor for the tundra and the Lexus. The denso part on rock auto is made in china for the tundra. Since when is a Toyota oe part made in china?? Never… same with a new denso radiator for the tundra. China. Toyota dealer? Japan. Ac compressor for the tundra at the dealer made in Japan. Sick and tired of the poor misinformation of “just buy from the oe company directly, denso, aisin etc” advice. It’s not true and bad advice especially because our vehicles are getting over 20-30 years old (gen 1 tundras, ls400s) and oe genuine parts will NOT BE AVAILABLE in the near future, so you better get factory parts while u still can, so it lasts another 20 years. Same with the timing belt kits… “ oh just get the aisin kit instead of from the dealer, same thing!!!” Anddddd it’s not the same thing. The aisin kit is great quality and good enough, but isn’t the same thing.. thanks just needed to vent. Why would I want Chinese junk on my best gen tundra or ls400
