So the current question is what is the best AC Compressor? This is a tough question because every compressor is unique and therefore only a few people build or rebuild that specific compressor. You have to review what is availablel for your vehicle

If I had to take a stab at it for the OEM’s; I would say 1. Nippon Denso – They invented quality manufacturing 2. Sanden – another great Japanese builder 3. Delphi – struggling to stay alive, but the parts still seem to be good. Once again, please remember you cannot use a Denso for your Dodge AC Compressor, it just doesn’t fit.

They other options are tough to break down. I would avoid used entirely, just not worth it. Reman units only if you cannot get new. The best option is often aftermarket new. These are new compressors just not made by the original manufacturer. Just like you car came with Firestone tires, you can put Dunlop or any other brand on when they need to be changed. Same is true for Compressors, you just have to get the part from a quality builder. Our sponsor will appreciate this, but DiscountACParts.com does make an excellent line of aftermarket compressors. I have gotten very good feedback on their parts, if they have one of their brand compressors available, I would definately go with that. They have a great warranty too.
