I ended up replacing all of them with some standard hydraulic shocks (ProComps). MUCH smother ride.

Not really. Still Bombing the new heat-pump.
While the old heat-pump threw a rod in the 3-ton compressor, the 1.5-ton compressor still operates (parallel compressor system). With that, the heat-pump still operates albeit at a reduced capacity . . .. . but with a lot more supplemental electric heat than otherwise.
In the mean time, I've harvested the components (damper assemblies, motor, and sensors) of the full enthalpy based economizer from the old system, and am just finishing installing same in the new heat-pump (all custom of course
). The new system, like the old, has 10KW of supplemental/auxiliary electric heat in the form of two 5KW assemblies. I've electrically separated them and installed outdoor air thermostats so as to individually inhibit the electric strip heaters (forcing the heat-pump to take more of the load). Insulated the hot-gas refrigerant line from the compressor all the way to the indoor-air coil (good for the heating mode economy).
Little mess like that. I'll most likely install the new machine in the next couple of weeks.
Got my folks a 39" 1080dpi high-def, wide-screen flat-screen TV this past Christmas. Installed it on the kitchen wall complete with relocated power receptacle, etc, yesterday. They like it a lot.
It's now that I need to get back to this project, and figure out what spinny-things I'm gonna use, . . . and manifold, . .. and waste-gate, . . . .
