Dorman Oil cooler compared to ford

Does anyone know who actualy manufactures the cooler for ford motorcraft, is it their's or a rebadge from a smaller company?

Other than Dorman products being made in china what are the disadvantages of their cooler.

Has anyone had one of Dorman's coolers fail?

Most of them were less than 1 year old the dormans are cheap but you kind of get what you pay. you can get factory coolers for 265 its worth the extra 100 bucks
