A/C Woes - Opinons/Guidance Welcomed

That's tough luck with those compressors. I have purchased many things such as alternators from a local scrapper and have had good luck with them. That said one of the alternators has grease all inside of it and it almost caught fire when I installed it and ran the car. They claim they test all of their parts before they sell them - I call bs.

When it comes to engine swaps where a lot of things can go wrong, I tend to purchase reman'd stuff or brand new if my budget allows. This way it lowers the amount of things that are properly hooked up but internally faulty.

Obviously reman'd units I'm sure van also be faulty, but seemingly less so than scrapped parts.
