I wouldn't mind Taiwan as much. They're actually making some pretty decent stuff, and aren't communist. I'm always disappointed when I buy something from a Taiwanese company that ends up being made in China. I'm not sure why they do that, if it's labor rates, or land, or both.

It's labor rates and who has line space open at the time the order comes in for the manufacturing run. Asia is bad about companies taking orders when they have no space to run the job. So they sub contract it out. It happens here too but not as bad as asia.

Nice looking truck, super clean engine compartment. Are the blue Bowties on the valve covers breathers? They look neat in any case.

I cleaned the inside of one of mine with my pressure washer and got it pretty clean. Really didn't think it would work that well.

Thank you. They are actually a spark plug loom that holds the wires. Since my wires are ran from underneath and are not visible i just use the bow ties are decoration

well.... just picked up a doorman unit at Autozone for $15.99. Lifetime warranty and they had it in stock.
Can't really go wrong there. I'll keep my OG one in the event that I ever decide to do a purist restoration somewhere down the road.

How thick is it? When I looked at one several years ago, I didn't like how thin and cheap it felt.

I have had a aftermarket Taiwan made one in my truck for 5 years and never had a issue. Thickness is the same as oem in my opinion.

It’s just a overflow bottle that holds zero pressure.

HOT water, some Dawn dish detergent. Scrub it out with a bottle brush as suggested. When all the coolant and "easy" contamination is gone, you're ready for Round Two.

Round Two involves a "short fill" of HOT water and Dawn, but throw in some Playground Sand. A few nuts 'n' bolts, anything small and durable. Put the cap back on, pinch the hose shut. Shake the crap out of it. Let the sand scrub the inside of the tank. The nuts and bolts agitate the sand. The longer you shake it, the cleaner it gets.

Dump out all the sand and hardware, rinse well.
