This could be I usually order mine, I get them at 3 at a time. I get the Fleetgaurd stratapore fuel filters and it say exectly that on the top of them. This last batch I ordered 2 of them said Fleetgaurd on the top, and 1 didnt say anything. The one that said nothing on top did seem to be of cheaper quality. Maybe this was a mistake from the company, or maybe the new ones are going to be cheap knock-offs???!!! But like you said, same price as the "good" ones....

I just ran into the same thing, only I thought the price went up. I spent $68 for 3 fuel filters. They did NOT EVEN COME IN A BOX! filters look cheap. These were bought at Cummins in Hiliard Ohio. Looks to me like these will be the last filters I purchase directly from Cummins. I have a good NAPA store and they will get my filter business from now on.

I've been getting all my filters from fleetfilter.com
They sell Wix/Napa filters and they've always been good quality. The price is right too, especially if you go ahead and spend enough to get free shipping.

I ordered a oil filter and a 7 micron fuel filter from Geno's garage and there was no individual boxes for either. The oil filter looked the same but I refuse to use the fuel filter. I will be getting rid of the factory fuel filter all together for a 2 micron aftermarket unit since dodge doesn't offer fine enough filtration!

Maybe they are getting cheaper. But nothin comes close to the one I pulled outta my truck after I first bought it... It looked like someone cut up some cardboard and glued it together.... Was the cheapest and prolly the worst filtering filter I have ever seen...
