Mopar Fuel Filter Defective or Counterfeit?

[Topzide]

It's up to us to decide what filter to use on our trucks. If you're willing to roll the dice, go right ahead and take the chances! I know that Genos can be trusted to protect us with the filters that they stock! Price shopping can lure you down that path, but is it worth it?

Exactly.

I'm not taking chances. I trust Genos.

I have a ton of American made hand tools Mostly Klein etc. I was a journeyman electrical lineman for 42 years. I told my wife not to take them to the Salvation Army when I died. These are tools are made in the USA. They need to go to proper homes and be treasured for what they are. You will never see tools like these again ever.

My dad was smart and surprised me with Craftsman's largest hand picked tool collection back in 2001. He was told in 2002-2003 that Craftsman was going to quit making more tools like ratchets and sockets in the USA.

Sure enough, they were right on the nose, 2004 was when Sears finally announced it.

So he got me the entire fleet of the 2001 Craftsman Generation 2 USA made ratchet set. All hand picked. He got me all sizes of 12 point and 6 point sockets from 1/4" to 3/4" drive that Craftsman made. Along with a bunch of Craftsman professional screw drivers and what not. On top of that, he was so smart, when he ordered it, he ordered a 3x rebuilt kits for all four ratchets. Dad also bought me all of the 12 and 6 point USA made Craftsman box wrenches they sold. IIRC, it was close to $4,000 back then in tools he ordered right there in the store.

I wouldn't even want to know how much that would cost to replace in another modern day USA-built price from Snap-on or Matco. I'd prolly puke.

A guy up the street developed dementia and his wife liquidated his tools. He had a fairly large old style heavy Craftsman tool chest on wheels packed with mechanics tools,all Craftsman,of course. She sold the whole thing for $500. I just missed it. Snooze you lose.

Yep. Glad my Dad didn't snooze. Not only do I got those tools to remember him by, but I got all his tools.

There are times it's just like when Dad was there wrenching besides me when using his tools.

It's amazing how much I rely on those tools. I don't know how people get by without even a basic ratchet set at their home.

In fact, I was out in the shop wrenching today. I decided to use his tools in conjunction with mine.

I still have my original Craftsman toolset from when I was 16 and wrenching on a '69 Roadrunner, rebuilt transmission when I was 17, Mom was hoping I couldn't get it working.... Problem is if they still made them stout and in America, we have collectively demonstrated that we would rather "save money" and buy Chinese crap. Forgetting when doing the economic analysis to account for the "value" of the satisfaction experienced when using precise and strong tools. The cost of better tools, amortized over your life, and in my case 2 more generations, is quite economical.

Yes I have lots of old craftsmen tools. We don’t even have sears stores anymore but Home Depot carry’s the china junk now
