That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of OUTRAGEOUS misfortune... if I replace the one part that offends thee, only to have the (what I assume to be) 17 year old compressor blow up a month later and ruin all parts involved.
I mean, seriously, the condition in which I bought this awesome '99 V8 EB 4 years ago leads me to believe this is the original AC system straight off the truck from the Mizzo plant where it was birthed. I checked RockAuto, and all new parts,
Compressor
Both hoses
Evaporator Core
Condenser Core
Variable OT
New O-ring Kit
Accumulator
all adds up to $383.63.
Am I not justified in buying all new parts? If I took it to a shop and tried to get ANYTHING replaced, I'm looking at at least $500, right? Seems to me, I'm SAVING $117 minimum.... These parts on my truck are 17 years old.
Yes, I'm trying to talk myself into it. Does anyone see a reason not to? Love to hear comments.
