Ford == motorcraft.... It is telling that the "Big 3" have their own branding for their parts divisions, where I dont believe any of the other manufacturers do

  Most of them actually sold off or spun off their parts departments into separate companies, and then were really pissed off when what used to be a dedicated in-house proprietary system started serving parts for other makers. It’s like rockets. The cheapest bidder gets the contract, and they make the worst quality stuff that they possibly can, just enough to get them across the line. If you want actual good quality parts, you have to go elsewhere. The problem is that the industry works very hard to hide where that “elsewhere” might be, so that you can’t find them and work your way around the system.
