No the condenser's fins were so close it let no air through it to the radiator, and since it was holding the A/C system heat too (not condensing), it was a mess all around. It was all 'new Napa replacement parts', and I took the condenser out and put in a new GM one. (Cindy @ Bradley ordered it for me) Holding the Napa up to the light, the design flaw was obvious. Holding the new GM up to the light, I could see my hand behind it, and light through all of it. This thing has run right on the thermostat since it was new (147000) and will go to 210 (F) towing up a hill. The fan clutch (with or without towel) works correctly and the A/C is now about 80% efficient. When I get time I'll replace the 'Napa compressor', and then my A/c will get cold under 3500 RPMs. (like it was since new) I don't tow anything with my ESV, even though it's AWD, just never had to.
