>Chilly Bear is a huge rebuild wholesaler who sells to PepBoys (that's how I >found them) and several other chains. Considering the lack of quality of >the work, I would never trust a rebuilt compressor from that outfit again or >any rebuilt part from any auto parts chain. Who I would trust for a >rebuild, though, is Classic Auto A/C Manufacturing in Tampa. They are the >only a/c outfit that advertises in Hemmings, and they are the ones making >the reproduction evaporators for DMCH. They also rebuild accumulators. To be brief, I worked for one of the largest, if not the largest, auto parts chains in the US. With the amount of returns we had for defective parts I quickly went back to OEM for what I needed. Granted there are some parts that do not matter where you get them from but those are obviously not what I am referring to. I put a rebuilt compressor on a friend's Blazer, pulled a vacuum, and after a small amount of freon was pulled into the system one of the o-rings failed much like Dave described with the Mt. St. Helens incident. >I since bought a >complete label kit from DMCH that has a replacement sticker for the >compressor. It says to use 1.8 cubic inches, but no one uses those units. >I don't have the patience right now to do the math to see what this is >equivalent to. If you figure it out, let me know. It turns out to be less >than 8, I would still use at least 8. Walt 1.8 in^3 translates into... .997 ounces US 29.5 cm^3 .00104 ft^3 .03117 qt .0623 pt Greg ------------------------ Yahoo!
