Much higher current capacity." I went to Radio Shack and just asked for the largest diode they had in stock. They will likely come in a package of 2 or 3 for a couple of bucks.

Guest Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 How about keeping your GM car all GMmy preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Does "all GM" require buying from Motorolla, Champion Laboratories, or Nippon-Denso ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 noDelco AC ect.looks more original when i open the hoodjust my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Stock coil is Motorola, relays are Bosch, MAF is Hitachi etc.. What is stock GM anymore? They outsource parts all the time that they cannot make in house as cheaply or as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Guess I was being too obscure, 2seater got it rite. Would buy all GM if that was what it was but see no reason to spend more for an oil filter just because it has a GM label on it if the same Champ filter from WalMart with a different label costs less. (Actually am going to the Pure One). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Yes the catalog still shows the UPF-47 but when I tried to buy a case, AC told me they were discontinued.Might also want to look at my previous posting on the subject (new and better picture).
