Well I guess you have to define better. Will the “Made in USA” Airtex garbage Pumps last 7 months instead of 6 months? If so, they’re better, Right?
I’d like to think that pumps made in the USA are better than those not made here. But going back to 2007 – 2010 when I tried the Airtex Junk, I don’t think the “fake look-alikes” were a factor. Two of them lasted less than 6 months, while the third was removed at 22 months, all in the same vehicle, a 2000 GMC Jimmy 4.3L V6.
To the best of my recollection, all of the Piece Of Crap Airtex Junk Pumps that I had installed in my Jimmy were “Made in the USA”, and I sincerely doubt that anything has changed.
Listen to Old Master, in the 4.3L V6 engines that most of the S-10 Blazers, Jimmy’s and Sonoma’s have, THE AIRTEX FUEL PUMPS DON’T MAKE THE GRADE. BUYER BEWARE!
