About this episode

This episode discusses the issue of counterfeit diesel parts and their impact on the aftermarket industry and truck reliability.

Not all diesel parts are created equal. In this episode of The Diesel Podcast, we sit down with Snyder Performance Engineering to discuss the growing problem of copied and counterfeit diesel parts entering the aftermarket. We break down how legitimate American-made diesel components are reverse engineered, copied, and sold at lower prices, why quality often suffers, and what these knockoff parts can mean for the reliability of your Cummins, Duramax, or Power Stroke. We also discuss how counterfeit and low-quality replacement parts impact diesel truck owners, manufacturers, and the aftermarket industry as a whole. Learn more about your ad choices.
