RE:  TCM OEM AC Parts:

Hmmm, I am not so sure that buying TCM parts to put AC in my plane is any an 
advantage over after-market vendors, either.

After all, isn't TCM the culprit that sells an elastomeric alternator gear 
for a thousand and a half dollars when their designed part fails after a short 
period?

And, as Bill Hogarty points out, TCM buys OEM AC clutches, marks 'em up just 
a teeny amount (like double), and sticks 'em on the Malibu.

Well, since TCM doesn't actually make the AC clutches, they probably have a 
longer MTBF than the rest of the crap that they do make and put in their 
engines.
