Except that for the occasional "out of the box" dud, they go in and seem to last, and more importantly do not have metal impellers.

Very few dealer parts departments can tell you anything about who makes any part, or even what country they originate from; they just place an order in the OEM's parts distribution computer network and wait for the part to show up.
