Sorry for the rant but I hope I can warn others. A while back, I had to replace the inside door handle on my 95' k2500 because the lever broke. I went by Advance auto parts and looked in the Help isle. They had one and it was made by Dorman. I thought ok, that's a good brand name and its only $14.88 but its made in China. I head back to my shack with the new Dorman door handle in the sack and swap it out. Fast forward 51 days later. I'm backing into a parking space at skool and I open the door to see if I'm centered. The brand new F'n Dorman door handle breaks off in my hand. Its only 51 days old. How could this be?? I get pretty upset at myself because I didn't try to get a US made piece or a GM handle. After skool, I head over to Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet and picked up a GM piece and installed it. I find the Dorman package and the receipt and I start out the door to Advance to return the piece of #%@* Dorman handle when I see "30 day replacement if defective." All I can do is grab a beer and cuss.
