Decent aftermarket AC parts?

Gearing up to redo my AC system and looking for opinions on condensers, dryers etc that you have actually used.
I'm looking at Spectre and Delco but Delco quality has been sliding down on parts lately.

Thanks advance!

Re: Decent aftermarket AC parts?

I'm going big Sanden compressor and ditching the R4.
I looked at Murray stuff but only ever used their thermostats.
With vac/charge around $150-$200 here in SoCal I need to do it once.

Re: Decent aftermarket AC parts?

Hrmm...

Depending on the year of your truck and all the interchange stuff I've got older delco stuff around for the mid-late 70s trucks... a few condensers with the updated design from late 90s, dryers from mid-late 2000s... I'd stocked up back when I was building trucks more. Still have a couple sets. Even older quality reman compressors and the like.

If you were interested I might let a set of stuff go... but it wouldn't be as cheap as the 2018 Chinese aftermarket parts you can get because I've got more into it than they sell that junk for these days... then there's shipping from georgia too.
