affiliate of MWM INTERNATIONAL Industria de Motores da America do Sul Ltda., a Brazilian affiliate of Navistar International Corporation.

This would be my biggest drawback. The Brazilian connection. There are already foreign Diesel made engines in a lot of our equipment anyway..
The part I don't understand is almost every nation in the World seems to Hate America so why do they use us as a dumping ground for their stuff ? They want our money but not us.We need to start printing In God We Trust in bigger and Bolder letters on all our Money..

I drove a stright job that had a new brake job. The next thing I knew I had almost no brakes. Good thing I was not going down hill. It turned out the new brake drums cracked. I wonder if the drums were made in China.

It's all the result of Globalization started by the WTO and it's result will be that good paying jobs will continue to leave America until some Politician has the decency to get out of the WTO and NAFTA agreements and stop the War in the Middle Class.

Without doubt, U.S. companies are still thirsty for cheap labor and raw materials from the Middle Kingdom. Caterpillar said in August that it would begin building small- and mid-sized diesel engines in China, primarily for Asian buyers. U.S. transportation and logistics companies such as Con-way, Schneider National and YRC Worldwide are making inroads into China through partnerships and acquisitions.

China is still "a dominant theme" for outsourcing clients of supply chain consultant Ariba, said Patrick Furey, senior manager of category management. "We haven't seen a significant slowing in sourcing activity," he said.
