Or should I just get a Ford unit? Money not really an issue so staying Ford is not a problem. But if I can safe a few bucks and still get quality I'm all for it.
I'm interested in this as well - my father-in-law's mechanic told him that aftermarket compressors were usually only good for 2-3 years (this is in his Toyota Camry).
i went w/ a Napa part (supposedly a Ford part in a Napa box) and got it for $270ish--has worked great... too bad i busted the high pressure line during the engine swap...
