i just had to send back the lares brand control valve i got from rock auto and the lady actually told me they hadnt had any returns on that product in 6 months. I had a feeling it was a bold faced lie but i didnt have any proof. the stupid thing didnt even last 100 miles AND it cost me $20 to send back

Just to keep everyone up to date, new part installed this weekend and working perfectly.
Got the warranty papers from Rock Auto and the Fedex Pre-paid return documents, package goes back tonight....very smooth transaction.

I just ordered a whole kit(valve, pump, slave and hoses) that they will bring to Carlisle for me. Bringing the cores, too--Exchange one leaky mess for a former one!

I am going to Carlisle for the show and parts. One of the main things I want to get is a new/rebuilt P/S control valve. I will be bringing my old one with me for a core. Who the best vender to get a a new/rebuilt one ?
opinions please ?
Oh, and no I am not rebuilding mine myself, Murphy's law told me not to

It turned out to have a rolled lip seal; it never was able to center and operate properly. I was treated with having to remove it and rebuild it myself, while wasting fluid, effort, and time.
Unless it's been previously installed & tested, I don't trust them.
Good luck.
Steve
