To those that say Jasper is problematic , budget,
You mean Jasper says Jasper rebuilds are better than alternatives. Well, I'm completely shocked.
A rebuild is only as good as the technician doing the build and Jasper is a large manufacturer making their money on volume. You have no idea which tech rebuilt your unit, and if it's his first or five hundredth. You've got no one to look in the eye who has a local reputation they want to keep if it goes bad.
It's called Jasper because it's based out of Jasper, IN. I lived and worked in that area for many years, and at the time in my life when my budget was for older vehicles that I frequently worked on, or had others worked on, in that area. I've been aware of them long before the internet was a thing or they had nationwide distribution. I wouldn't put one of their products in my vehicle that I intended to keep, but on someone else's dime I'd be willing to have one put in long enough to sell it. At least you still have a real warranty, so if it craps out again you'll get to try again without paying labor to swap it out.
