Cautionary Rock Auto engine sensor tale

I think most good mechanics will tell you to only install factory/OE sensors in new cars. The quality of aftermarket parts as we all know has drastically decreased recently. The new sensors are too sensitive or exact to allow for the variance of cheap manufacturing.


1) We are talking a 1998 vintage truck here, what happens when Mopar stops selling the crank sensor?

2) I have been in the field for decades, (recently retired from pulling wrenches thank God) and I have never seen it this bad. It seems more and more corners are being cut and the market is getting flooded with junk parts.
