OEM doesn't mean the part is good anymore in my experience.
I came to Cummins to buy NoX inlet sensor awhile ago. Salesmen was searching something in his computer almost one hour then gave me NoX outlet sensor. I asked him why my old sensor wires wrapped in heat shield and this one is not. He replied it's a new style sensor. I was so naive to trust official Cummins salesman. Sensor looks absolutely the same except electrical plug has small difference. Lost my weekend to turn the sensor back and got what I need.
Another case. Volvo tie rod ends from Volvo dealership $ 180 each in plastic bag and paperwork in Chinese language. No any word in English or any other language. They were last 3 months.
The swamp is everywhere.

When I go to dealer, I always ask for OEM only version of a part. Many dealers will sell you Chinese knock-off crap if you let them and don't ask.
