P/S Control Valve, which vendor ?
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, Murphys law told me not to

From previous experience, I would not doubt that most come from the same basic part suppliers. I got mine from Advance Auto Parts a couple of years ago. No problems and saved a few bucks. Plus I know where to take it if it was not good when I got it

I was thinking of an Advance auto one, but wasnt sure on their success rate. I am actually kinda surprised to get someone on this site to say they have bought one from. I have had alot of good luck with parts from Advance, just didnt think I should chance it with a control valve from them.

good to know about the Rock auto replacement, I was going to order one from them, guess I'll go to Advanced or Napa so I don't have to deal with shipping core back...

Just got mine (new not rebuilt) from LoneStar with a 5 year warranty. They should be at Carlisle. I went to them because the new calipers I got from them last year are perfection.

I just ordered a brand new valve, cylinder and hoses from Willcox, so, I will have to see how it goes. I chose to go the new route because, living in Canada, shipping back the cores is too costly to be worthwhile.
After shopping around I found Willcox had the best deal between Forum pricing and weekly sales. And, if it turns out to be a dud, I can expect some level of support.
