While we don't see the failures or counterfeiting of parts. We do buy from an aftermarket parts company called Total Source or TVH.
Some of their parts are just fine and almost identical. As a matter of fact we've gotten OEM part that had TVH labels on under the OEM label.
However it seems that they don't have full rights or something. The part may look right at first. Them you go to install it or look at it close. And something is just a miss. Tolerance is wrong, a bolt hole in the wrong spot, etc. Often to the point we with had to modify the "new" part or order an OEM.
Yes they parts are often half the price but at what cost....
