I purchase Fleetguard fuel filters from Genos for my 2024 Ram 3500 and usually replace them myself. I was in my diesel shop the other day for some other work and since the weather is crappy and I don’t have a heated shop, I had him replace the fuel filters for me with my filters. He looked at the box where there was some foreign writing on the side of the box and the last line was probably Chinese. He quickly acted disgusted that I was using cheap Chinese knock offs. Are these genuine fleetguard and where are they made?

Perhaps consider contacting Geno’s directly.
They are the ones who would know where they came from .

Been buying from Geno’s for years, zero issues. Gotta remember it’s a global supply market, many things produced overseas are made within manufacturer specs, for the manufacturer. It’s the non-manufacturer specs knock offs you gotta watch out for. Buy with confidence from Geno’s.

The rear fuel filter for the '19-'24 HD trucks share the same fuel filter as the '20-'23 EcoDiesel, it was a departure from the cartridge style filter Cummins spec'd previously.
I've seen genuine Mopar fuel filters have a different manufacturer names and multiple languages on the side of the box

The rear filter assembly is supplied by Racor/Parker. Fleetguard didn't even have the rear element until recently. I have been using either Mopar, or Baldwin for the rear, since Baldwin is a sister company to Racor.

Fleetguard fuel filters are what I use on my 2022 and have yet to have problems from them... By chance did you buy the cheap Mopar/Bproauto rear fuel filters # FS_1BP00846AA instead of Fleetguard (***see below) those filters I think are made in China....

***
This fuel filter is sold by Mopar and serves as a direct replacement for their 68436631AA.
Includes o-ring. bproauto is endorsed and sold by Mopar for many of their OEM parts.
