Yeah you got something there.....

 

Yeah, there is a few different examples like some member here are looking for ball joints and willing to $739 for a set of ball joint for 3rd gen. Like on my 2nd gen I bought AC Delco ball joints for $30 a piece still going nearly 200k miles later.  Some other member believes in Cummins thermostats and pay the $100 price tag. I would just buy a NAPA thermostat and save a bunch of money at $29.

Seems like a good Denso for $128..... Compared to the $250 for the same one any where else

 

Denso is at least a pretty big company covering a wide range of parts.

I've used Murry A/C compressors from O'Reillys in a pinch. The last one I installed was for an 01 Chevy Taho with rear A/C, June 1, 2017.  I paid $189 for it with a limited lifetime warranty.

Here is a new Murry compressor from O'Reillys for $234.  Now, that price is in Escondido, CA  and I can't see why there is a $96 price difference between states.

The other brands I've used have been Valeo , Sanden and York.  These were for different Volvo models.

Here is the boiling point of water at different levels of vacuum. On of the few reason I like to do A/C work at noon at the hottest part of the day and have the customer drive to me. This produces a lot of engine bay heat and all the plumbing is nice and hot. Little vacuum will go a very long ways.

Finally got to look at my ac clutch this weekend. It seems it has worn enough that the metal plates on the front have actually rubbed the pulley enough to wear the metal thru around the outside. I just bit the bullet and ordered all new.
