It's getting warmer here where I live and found out that my condenser is leaking where the receiver dryer is connected.
Some shops are quoting me anywhere from 1000 to 1400 for parts and labor. A lot of suppliers are running low on condensers as this seems to be common part that leaks.

I'm looking to buy a good quality condenser. What is suggested to buy?

I don't have any extended warranty on the vehicle

Call GM Customer Service [866 522 9559] as they just might cover it. They covered mine about a month ago. Plead for mercy since this was a well known issue in the 2015-2017 models. Mine went belly up at 80K miles

I leave my a/c system constantly on so if there is a issue I will know it immediately. I just set it and forget it. I do that on every vehicle I own.

I'll try. I just bought the vehicle in February and declined any of the extended warranty when offered. Vehicle has 131K miles.

Watch out, if you go back to the same dealer and you ask for help they may throw the extended warranty turn down back in your face. Just be prepared.

You may have to commit to the extended warranty before they give you any relief on the condenser problem.

If you have to pay try and find a recommended shop that hopefully will let you supply parts and save you some money.

I'm trying to find a shop that I can supply my own condenser. I see some supplier are out of stock.
My question, should I buy ACDelco? Im hesitant since the original failed

You can bet that since the condenser is a problem and they have been covering some of them, that the new ones are an updated better model. I would not hesitate to order one from Rock Auto, the link I sent you. The key is finding the shop that will allow you to supply the part.

When I looked up the condenser at RA I had the two choices to attach a link for. I chose just one. The one you came up with is out of stock. I guess it could be either. Depends on the options.
Post the last 8 of your VIN and hopefully @915_Tahoe will chime in.

Currant GM#19383805 $182.02.

If your dealers in your area is out of stock, it's because these are on a national back order.

Where are you located at.

Yes, and that is the same one I posted the link to. When I look now that is no longer showing at RA so who knows what happened to that.

Thanks for your help.

Looks like they are out of stock in many places. I will have to keep looking around for someone that has it in stock.
