Aisin has a manufacturing plant here in good old So Ill. I think they make rear ends for GMC and FMC but it's just as realistic that they could start assembling PAG stuff tomorrow. Point is, even the point or origin of the subassemblies can be obfuscated by today's manufacturing processes. The box should read "Made in USA by Japan With Cambodian electronics, Indian Firmware and Russian steel"
