Why in the world am I trying to teach someone to read on Corvette Forum?

The point was, I've used Dorman parts on multiple cars from various manufacturers INCLUDING CHEVROLET CORVETTES and to date haven't had a single problem out of them. And I've 0 doubt that if I actually cared to track my personal MTBF of Delco v/s Dorman parts, the latter would win that contest by a fair margin. *shrugs*

MTFB OCD NCAA MLBPA. NBA. You lost me at integras. And you def lost me at no aftermarket slaves. Fact of the matter is that Dorman parts are terrible for Corvettes. Just do a cursory search on the forum. IDK. LMAO. BRB. *hugs*

When I last replaced my C5 clutch some years ago, the only option I could find for a slave was the OEM. That does (fortunately) appear to no longer be the case.
You don't like Dorman, and that's fine. Feel free to vote with your money. I've used their products many times without problems. I'm not claiming they're a high-end, top-tier part maker, but their quality is on par with most OEM components IMHO. If you have statistics (not anecdotes) that indicate otherwise, I'd love to see them.
Sorry. Can’t respond right now. I’m working on my Integra.
Still can't move past the fact that they make parts for multiple cars? OK then, I'll just translate your last post...

Looks like you are going to have to buy an entire master cylinder. $73 for the ac delco professional, which isn't bad. But it is likely built by the same supplier as the doorman one above - a ton of acdelco **** is made in china and is no better than anything else. My brand new acdelco professional water pump says "china" on it.

Almost certainly came out of the same factory and just got tossed into a different box.
Ac delco is mainly made in Canada, Australia and sometimes Mexico. Even more rare are actuators made in Taiwan. If you have anything stamped China from ac delco it’s a fake or not oem. It’s that simple.

Incorrect. So you are confusing ACDelco and OEM GM parts and think they are one in the same. They are not, and ACDelco is simply a reseller like most other suppliers and manufacture little to nothing. No worries, as you share your vast knowledge you shall also learn things. It’s what makes this forum so great. I learn things everyday on here and am grateful for the experience that is shared

oh. My bad. So who is the manufacturer for ac delco parts? Who is the manufacturer for oem parts? I’m confused. Please enlighten me.
ac delco is a reseller? So you’re saying ac delco doesn’t manufacturer parts?
so if I order parts from a dealer, it isn’t manufactured by ac delco? Tread carefully here. I have about 40 parts I bought from gm that are stamped ac delco and not made in China. Lol.

We can’t fix your misinformation of corvette parts. We can’t fix the fact you copy and paste other peoples responses on this forum. All we can do is wish you well. I wish you well. You’re angry. I get it. But don’t take it out on others. We are all here for you in this troubling time.
