Now I'm confused. I have heard the same story about not using an R-4 designed for a GM product for the reason pointed out. MB Doc, you stated that you have installed at least 50 R-4s that did not come from MB, but you were not clear as to if these compressors came from aftermarket sources but were still intended to be installed on MBs and not GMs. Please clarify.

Thanks,
Peter
