Cheap parts equal junk parts

Bought this Dorman turbo oil drain tube......went to install it today

No way!

The inside of the tube seems like the galvanized coating is flaking all apart

I run my finger inside both ends of the tube and my finger is coated with metal flakes

Time to return it and buy a Cummins part
 
After running fleece drains I won't go back. Super easy to instal, clean and if you have to pull the charger it's a lot easier
 
We use a lot of Dorman parts, half of it is decent stuff, the other half is straight up poor quality junk.
 
I love it when offer aftermarkets offer junk parts at close to or more money than OEM.
 
I really don't want to spend $105+ on a tube

Any vendors on here stock and sell the Cummins all metal flexible tube?
 
I saw those Fleece tubes the other day. It would definitely be nice to upsell that to every customer.

I just buy the block and turbo fitting then build my own hoses. I can not ever see myself doing it any other way from now on.
 
^^^ Did the same on mine, probably not even 50 bucks with extras left over.
