Looking for experiences here. I need to do a boom cylinder in a CAT excavator. I very much realize CAT does not make seals, just put their name on them, but I also don't want to gamble on inferior junk. I have built dozens of cylinders by spec'ing the seals and ordering each seal through a quality aftermarket. But on this boom, I really need to just get a kit so I don't lose down time measuring and ordering.
Costex is one aftermarket I feel good with but there are other seal kits out there even cheaper and I wonder if they are decent. I am not trying to penny this thing out, but I also don't like paying for a name.
