As I understand it, the compressor is not the problem, it's the US GM interface on the back of it. Also the mounting. Most compressors on the aftermarket are rebuilt and I haven't had much luck with them. John Hervey Sanden testing facility is about a mile away from my office. I'll stop by and see if they have any literature. I can also say the compressors are stock at DMC Houston at a very reasonable price. I have purchased two of them.

There's a phone number on the site, and a parts reference. There's nothing unusual about this compressor. Did you check the DMC places? If I recall the compressor is not terribly expensive because they have a ton of them.
