Anybody that has had a compressor failure knows that these aftermarket Denso SVO7E compressors are junk. The best at least I ever got out of one was over a year. I do my own AC work and have for years and should have went a head and bit the bullet and bought a genuine Denso but I read a post a few years ago that somebody made either on this page or another about completely swapping out the compressor for a different style compressor or another genuine Denso that you could purchase at a parts store in town like Advanced but I just can’t find the post. I own all kinds of Cat and JD excavation equipment, dump trucks and I’ve never had to replace a AC compressor. I did replace one on my 99 f 250 truck but that was 10 years ago and it’s still going. So does any anybody remember seeing a post or article about replacing these compressors with another style or something different that last and that is a lot cheaper. I’m sure some fabricating was involved.
