Hello all, hoping I can get some opinions on a recent purchase. I am going to be replacing my IWE on my 2012 F150 and after doing some research here and elsewhere on the internet I decided to buy OEM rather than aftermarket. I purchased the part on line and it specified it was in fact Ford OEM. I received it today and aside from a Ford sticker on the outside of the box containing the part number , cannot determine if it is in fact OEM. I'm questioning this because the actual item does not have the usual Moyorcraft of FOMO stamping on it. It does however have " Warn auto" etched on the part. After some more research it seems as though this is an aftermarket part. Just wondering if anyone knows if these have ever come OEM before I adress this with the seller. Thank you for youe expertese in advance. Tom

 

I believe that Warn designed and made iwe for Ford. either my factory iwe or Dorman had Warn stamped on it.

 

Thanks for the response . Was making it a point to go OEM wanted to ensure I was getting the right stuff z thanks again .

 

I've bought both the Motorcraft and Dorman parts before, they were identical. My next one will be a Dorman part.
