Yes , I turned down a radiator for one of my vehicles because it was made in China. Quality control and supporting the ChiComs are the two main reasons .
I am actually searching for one made in Mexico, because I know I will not find one made here in the US . Believe it or not, Mexican quality is better than Chinese quality when it comes to auto parts .
Thanks to “free trade” I get to shop around for “quality” auto parts that will last for 6 months, if that .
Not sure what vintage your car is, but a few callls to junkyards might get you an appropriate replacement. Congratulations, by the way, on taking the time to be a patriot while shopping.
