Going for the third time?How long are they lasting?Where are you getting them?How does your mechanic know they are shot and just not the accumulator ball being bad?Three is an awful lot.

$1000 - ridiculous. I have some land for sale - 300 miles east of you.

I got my lifetime warranty PM from Discount Auto Parts for $199.

Autozone had the A1 Cardone rebuilt units for $143.99 with a lifetime warranty. I called them last week. Your mechanic must be building one himself to charge you $1000. I am converting to a vacuum setup. Going to the junkyard tomorrow to get the parts.
