I've been reading about brass combination valves that leak, supposedly the Chinese-made PV2 (I have the stock disc/drum setup and original iron combination valve). Seems the GENUINE GM 1257177 is nearly impossible to find, and many of the hits when I enter "AC Delco 172-1350" actually say words to the effect that it's made "identical to", or "AC Delco TYPE" (caps mine), which doesn't convincingly sound like a genuine AC Delco part. I've also read on this board that one of the fittings strips easily, so I'm understandably hesitant to figure out exactly which one to purchase.
Are all the PV2s leakers? I did find one source claiming its part is made by AC Delco, so that seems to be the safest bet at this point, but I'd like to hear what the community says.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
