Is there a GM version that works correctly?

What is the story today?

Jim,
I think the original GM DOM types are perfectly okay if they were assembled correctly with a good seal when initially manufactured. However, given all the bad luck we have had recently with the quality of replacement slaves, regardless of where they came from, I would not put a new one in unless it was first disassembled and thoroughly inspected. The time it take to do this extra step possibly saves having to deal with the problem again a few months down the road.
