    KNOCK OFF FILTERS – BUYERS, BEWARE (Updated!)

    I never once mentioned any brand names except maybe John Deere on another blog. JD was the only company to pay for trashed materials by the manufacturer I worked for. They only sold at Dealer. Currently I have no idea what any brand name does. You been making reference to brands, not me. Have...

    KNOCK OFF FILTERS – BUYERS, BEWARE (Updated!)

    Games, we're both retired military I assume. You ever given thought to all the people who are employed by city, county, State and Federal government? 99% of them think their tax withholdings contribute to paying taxes. When reality is their entire paycheck derived at the expense of private...

    Lot of things aren't as they should be, or one would think. Trusting government or manufacturing is blindly accepting honesty.

    KNOCK OFF FILTERS – BUYERS, BEWARE (Updated!)

    Several years ago I purchased oil filters at big truck supplier for my 2015 6.7. Before installing I notice the inside diameter of the new filter did not match the Factory OEM. I then went to local parts store for a filter, it didn't match. I then purchased from dealership for exact match...

    KNOCK OFF FILTERS – BUYERS, BEWARE (Updated!)

    I no intention of bashing anyone. I was only sharing 1st hand knowledge from 1980 the practice of manufacturing that was happening then. Government caused a lot companies to go outside of USA. I once a 03 FHLRC, every part I every purchased had "Made in China" on the packaging, oil filters...

    Like I said to you earlier, "comprehension is required ." There are many filters sold today not marketed 1980. China makes many. They make filters for HD Do you think China going to make something and throw it in the trash because it was never tested or failed if it was tested. I bet you buy...

    You just don't give up. What's your point to to pursue this with me if you aren't implying I'm lair? Name a brand, we made them. FOB

    You want to follow up here as on you did on Cummins Forum, harassingly calling me a lair basically. "Stanndye", when I left NC 1982. No longer going by that name. Yes they sold filters with brand names to discount stores. Why? Because you would buy them at discount. They don't take a loss...

    AND SO, THE STORY GOES - FINAL CHAPTER

    Production of EPA mandates emits more carbon emissions than they say they are eliminating. It's all about $ to capitalism.

    AND SO, THE STORY GOES - FINAL CHAPTER

    I read an article in The Epoch Times stating BlackRock, JPMORGAN Chase, others had invested to reduce carbon emissions. Biggest ownership of manufacturing. Should be explanation enough.

    KNOCK OFF FILTERS – BUYERS, BEWARE (Updated!)

    1980 I worked making fuel, oil and air filters. Many companies moved elsewhere I know. Then; filters were graded as; passed, 2nd's and failed. Failed were sold at discount outlets, 2nd's went to parts stores and passed went to Dealerships. Off brand filters like Fram, etc didn't grade their...
