My P.C.B. has bad grounds for the water temp and the voltmeter, don't know if it can be fixed, well just did a search and not to much info... SO, where can I get a P.C.B made in the U.S of A. GMCPauls usually labels their stuff that is made in usa as "MADE IN USA" LMC is out! nothing there is made in america! Any Ideas??

Nobody wants to work in a manufacturing plant for $15 an hour. We had fruit dying on the trees here because they couldn't find anyone to pick it at $15-20 per hour.

When I started at Microsoft it was the same year UPS went on strike. Their drivers were already making more than me. At Microsoft! In the 90s! Including stock options!

So pick up that Chinese iPhone and order a Chinese PCB for your truck. It'll get delivered by UPS in a British truck. The only part of the process that will be American is the driver, because they can't outsource that yet.

I wouldn't bet on that, either....

fastlane, I don't know what kind of damage you have. PCB damage can sometimes be repaired. You can often bridge across broken or missing lands with tinned bare wire, and solder it in place on each end.

LOL! Well said my friend! A LOT of the parts I've been ordering for this truck have been made in the usa!! been trying to go that route but it is quite difficult, I might just buy an autometer temp gauge until I can find a NOS PCB! I'm sure those were made right here back in 69!
