That's why at UAC, we take the upmost care when developing new compressors. We always make sure that our new UAC branded compressors meet exact OE specifications, and that they are manufactured at a tier 1 facility. When you purchase a new compressor from UAC, you are receiving a high quality product at price that is very affordable.

Review: 2006 V8 Mustang - Used to replace an FS-10 AC compressor in a V8 Ford Mustang that had developed a pulley chirp that progressively got worse over time. The unit I received was marked "Made in Korea", Not China as shown in the stock pictures. Installed myself since I'm a mechanic with access to a professional A/C machine at my workshop. No issues with pulley/belt alignment or leaking. Came preloaded with 6 ounces of PAG oil according to the sticker attached it.. I lost about an ounce of oil that was already in the a/c system when recovering the freon with an A/C machine. So I ended up turning it upside down and rotating the pulley by hand to dump out 2-3 ounces of oil that was already in the compressor. The compressor already contained new O-rings needed for installation. The only issue encountered was the location of the electronic plug, for the magnetic coil used for the A/C clutch. The old motorcraft part had it oriented at the 6'o clock position, whereas this part had it rotated at the 10'oclock position. This can be remedied by removing the pulley and rotating the coil. I didn't need to do that however. It still worked for this application since the wiring loom for the car offered just enough slack to properly get the plug into the new location. It works well, A/C blows cold, and the A/C pulley no longer makes noise
Review: Great Replacement for OEM. - OEM compressor seized up internally, but I didn't want to spend $400-500 on a new OEM one. Came across this compressor for a far more reasonable price and decided to give it a chance. Direct replacement on Ford 3V engines with no fitment issues at all. Runs great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blissful
*by M***T on June 19, 2017*

Looks and sounds great, OH and by the way it works, lol. I have been dealing with a hot car for over 2 months and what felt worse was the rattling the old compressor was doing, it sounded like a bunch of coins in a mason jar. At least i could roll down the windows when it got to hot but there was nothing to stop that noise! Now, i start my car and she purrrrrrrrrrrs again. I pop the hood just to look at the compressor, just spinning away, no noise, just peaceful compressing...(or what ever it does). Thank you nameless amazon company that sold me this. The silence was worth the price alone!
