Getting fed up...

Cardone is crap. Used to deal with Cardone rebuilt junk for 25 years
But... it wasn't a rebuild; it's a "new" unit that everybody seems to source from the same manufacturer, and yes, it's a crapshoot.
If I was forced to, I think I'd trust a rebuild more than a "new" (and incorrect) one- at least a rebuild is based on a factory casting. I don't know what's inside of a new one. But I'm gonna find out!
