2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission A/C Compressor Replacement

[Wooter]

What one (make/manufacturer) should I buy?

Replaced condenser core (it was bad and leaking) and about 2 mos later, blowing hot air! Am told compressor is leaking and should have it replaced.



Looks like a few to choose from and would like feedback on good vs bad ones!

Sorry to say, A/C compressors are a real crap shoot, especially in today's world of global sourcing, you never who and where are doing the work. I have paid big bucks for supposedly "better" models and have had them crap out quickly, and on the flip side, some cheap E-bay rebuilt ones last for years. I would say either buy a brand new one from the dealer, or the cheapest rebuilt one you can get.

Or one from a JY with low miles. Call Creston Auto Salvage on Rt3... . they had a couple Cummins Trucks there. I just got a new to me A/C Compressor from J&J in Smithville for $75. Had 75K miles on it and comes with a 90 day warranty.
