Looking at both at the time, the oem unit seemed cheap with thin metal where the aftermarket unit was beefy. I think it was from Autozone, but it looked/worked better than the oem one.

Ive been planning to remove mine and send it to Jim for rebuilding but I am interested in a replacement if indeed it may be a better design or quality. Do you remember what brand your slave was?

Help me understand - "2 trips in USA"?? Can you not just ship something here via FedEx, UPS, or the Post Office? Just curious what the deal is...

If I send the unit from Canada, shipping is like $40 USD. From USA, $11 USD? And I didn't mention the long delays. I want to run the car now, not in 3 weeks. I work on a ship in summer time, so I will have to store it pretty soon already...
