Code 24 - Forward/Reverse Contactor Assembly Replacment

I am replacing the forward/reverse contact assembly. Is an aftermarket unit much worse off over the OEM - the price difference is %50.

Also is this a straight-forward bolt in-bolt out unit, I haven't worked much on these units.

Thanks for any help.

FYI, if your replacing the F/R contactor for repeated code 24's, and your contactor is an allbright p/n 116794-002 in a 24 volt truck, you should change the contactor to a 125861. There have been instances where the resistance in the coils becomes too high, causing no contactor pull-in, and code 24. The replacement contactor takes care of that. Also, be carefull of aftermarket contactors, especially the allbright look-a-likes. I have seen way more failures in the look-a-like albright contactors than the oem.

what the crown dealer sells you as "after market" will be fine and not be something you could distinguish from OEM.

Yes, the aftermarket and OEM are coming from the Crown dealer here. They say that they are virtually the same unit.

They want $420 for OEM and $220 for aftermarket, so I think that I'm going to go with the aftermarket unit and I'll compare to the unit that we have in our lift truck.

where are you getting the "oem" and "after market" parts from? same place? are the "after market" warranted to be OEM equal? are they the same part numbers?
They are almost certainly* going to be the exact same parts,,, the OEM one will have had 3 more "steps" on the parts, each "step" adding their own (40% to 100%) markup.
* you can never be -sure- until you look at the parts...
