Pvt2NJ n00b Registered: 03/19/05 Posts: 27 Loc: North East NJ	Thanks for the link to the Murray condenser. I did a lot of hunting late last night and found a Spectra Premuim condenser with a 1" core, 2 yr warranty for $86 incl. S&H. I do appreciate your info, your link showed me there are many brands however different to choose from. _________________________ 01 GMQ LS - 123k mi. - Stock

stalag Over the Hill Registered: 03/29/09 Posts: 3982 Loc: Columbus, OH	1. Buy the component with the longest warranty. 2. Realize that the Motorcraft part has a 33% markup. There is room to negotiate that price down. _________________________ Stalag;___________Just for Rizzo I am posting this in my sig. Coolants 2001 Lincoln Town Car Cartier L, 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis (extinct) On my LTC the following mods/upgrades were added. Heinous motorsport control arms, Command Automotive SD-1 rotors (these rotors can no longer be obtained), Calipers by Goldlinebrakes.com in silver with Hawk HPS pads (now running Ford OEM), MSD COP's. MZT is also applied with programming from BOC. j-mod is now done. Final rebuild of transmission done by Gearstar.
