You'd think after breaking three or four, he would have thought to upgrade to something a little better

That's the 1LE..
But buy from Jason Cromer.. that 43.97 'shipping' gmpartsdirect charges is a ripoff.. Jason charges actual shipping.. maybe 10-12 bux.. and the price should be VERY close o the same..

That's why I recommended the 1LE[a lot better and only a FEW $$ more..]

As Far As I Know

The ACPT is the one I have seen break (more than one). If yours is working, that's a good thing. But I would not recommend it.
