Counterfeit Thermostat?

[SeekAndDestroy]

Ordered this thermostat from Amazon. Came in this unmarked box just raw dogging around. They couldn’t even bag it. It is stamped with the GM logo and the correct part number. Does this part look like it’s AC Delco, or some cheap knockoff?

The t-stat I ordered for my old 2014 had the same style box but had the GM geniune stickers on the outside of the box. There was no protection inside the box. I unfortunately broke the nipple for the reservoir on the top of the housing when it fell from the shelf in my garage but the guts on my t-stat are still new and can easily be swapped to another one.

That is the box GM has been using on that p/n thermostat right now.  The one I just sold the other day was in the same style box.  

I'm going with legit but your pictures are like 100x100 pixel and hard to see.

Those look better.  Yea, appears to be a real deal one.  Not sure why they pulled the GM part label off that side of the box?  But I can see traces of the label there.  

 

I can check if I have one tomorrow for comparison.
