    A/C Help

    The wires you are looking for are red and yellow (generally). Yellow runs the compressor, the problem is that a heat pump could operate in cooling or heating without energizing the reversing valve depending on the brand. Regardless you can jump them and test the outside unit. Just use a pair of needlenose pliers. Does the air handler blower come on? If the blower Doesn't come on then you likely have an issue at the air handler or the thermostat. 1 out of 500 or so calls is usually thermostat related with this type of thing but it can happen.
  2. It can suck. Usually a 6" lifted 2500 is quite a bit higher than a 6" lifted 1500. In my experience it really throws off the geometry of the trailer. I am over the lifted trucks by far. I lowered my race truck and the new truck will have stock size tires on it. I did not like towing gooseneck with lift at all. Plus the ride quality suffers big time. But I am almost 30 and an old man.
  3. Yep. That why Brett was usually the one coming over for the plumbing, I am always tied up in heating and cooling calls.
  4. Oh okay. I didn't hear about you cancelling. What happened to the heat pump? I wish I would have known, I would have been more than happy to come look at the heating for you.
  5. Buy one used! They always have great trade ins. I buy snap on only. I have a little matco and very few Mac. Won't buy any cornwell, Just preference. Save some money and buy more tools. I have seen too many people have a mortgage payment in tools. I have 20k plus in tools easily and I'm not even a mechanic anymore. That classic 96 snappy you linked is a great box though. I have seen many get lots of years and good use out of them.
  6. The state of Ohio also requires you to not exceed 65mph around 270, do you follow that? They would require you to sign your soul to them if they could get away with it. 75% of the people that have this type of work done do not get permits. The trick is finding a company you can trust to do the work right so that you don't have to. Permits and inspections were designed to "protect the home owner" but in reality is another source of income and a way to tax home owners. Trish, did you talk to Chic? I remember seeing some type of message written with your name on it.
  7. +1 for interstate! They are the only batteries I ever use anymore.
  8. What kind of vehicles are you trying to sell? I'm trying to buy a new vehicle myself soon so I am trying to get rid of this asap. I'm putting it on craigslist tonight.
  9. Good looking out Derek. Screw it, Joe I will buy it from you if we can work out a time to meet up. I will use it as a loaner set up. I don't mind giving you money for it, it's just going to be difficult for me to make it out there with having a newborn in the house.
  10. Took this as he had to pay. If not that is great. If he did I would have loved to try and talk him through it on the phone.
  11. I'm tempted to pick this up from you Joe but the last thing I need is another ultra light rod that I don't use. I'm looking for a cheap baitcaster to learn flipping and pitching but that usually calls for a heavy action rod. Does the reel give a gear ratio on the side of it?
  12. Should of called me.... I told you to call me if you needed anything when we met.
  13. Two bolts and 4 mins of your time.
  14. This is an 1988 Bronco Eddie Bauer edition. This was originally owned by a church as a plow vehicle only. The last owner was a friend of mine who bought it to plow his business parking lot. I bought it a few years ago for my house and my business. It still does a great job but I am selling because the truck I am buying has a plow on it and I don't need two. -Speedo reads 29,xxx miles. It is not correct as the speedo went out and the last owner did not repair it. It is now repaired and reads correctly. -5.8L Fuel injected -4x4 -6ft Meyer plow -High output alternator -New tires -Plows great The bad The body is nothing to look at. I didn't buy it to be a driver or a trophy car. I bought it to plow and not have to worry about ruining a new vehicle. The water pump just started dripping out of the weep hole. It did this all winter and I just kept adding antifreeze. It is still very little. I do have a new water pump for it. The rear part of the exhaust broke off this year. The muffler and everything else behind it was rotting. Asking $2200 obo. It is certainly nothing special and isn't to be used to make money off of but it will plow a few driveways for family and a business. For the money it is hard to beat when considering the alternative. $500 and some time this summer will make this a good buy for someone. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/For%20Sale/IMAG0939_zps3cec1b92.jpg
  15. on the rod itself it should say some along the lines of medium light, medium, medium heavy, or heavy. it could also say something along the lines as fast or extra fast describing the tip or the rod.
  16. What kind of power and tip is the rod?
  17. My opinion to him was to get the stage 3. Right now he says he plans on a cam and nothing else as far as performance. He has had the car for a month and doesn't realize how much things can change in 5 years of toy ownership. The stage 3 is only $50 more and will take a shit ton of abuse. Due to his attraction to men, he is a giant pussy and way more concerned about driving like a bitch than I am. A little bit stiffer clutch doesn't bother me in a car I Drive on Saturdays. Sure he has put a bit of miles on it now but it is new. He also has a brand new Harley and an extensive dildo collection that will take over a lot of his driving time after the newness wears off. I don't worry about a tad aggressiveness in terms of street manners in my " hot rod" . I have also always been a supporter of over building when it comes to clutches and transmissions.
  18. I almost thought your awesome edit skills would make me look like the idiot but after seeing that picture of you doing a burnout on your bike and ruining the tire on your brand new Harley, I still win. Plus you just look like you have an extra chromosome doing so.
  19. Idiot doesn't understand how to operate this forum on his iPhone. I know he actually tried to post from photo bucket but is a simpleton. I'll help until he learns how to fix it. Here is his car recently purchased from a member here and from our for sale forumhttp:// http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117044 I honestly think this guy is too stupid to be allowed to access this board. He is also most definitely a homosexual and into biker dudes. Unfortunately it is 2014 and he is my brother so we will have to accept him.
  20. I absolutely love my char grill trio. It has propane stove (starts my lump), propane grill, charcoal grill, and smoker. It does it all and can be had for $300. Sure I would love to have an egg but my wife is weird about charcoal and sometimes I'm in a rush but still get to grill. It is much cheaper than an egg but not near the quality either. I did do some modifications to mine to get it to run the way I like. There are a ton of right ups on modifying them and making them better cookers. I plan on refining mine more and even permanently mounting into a table when I finish my patio.
  21. Sorry man, this weekend is not a good one. It is my boys birthday and we are busy with Easter and family. The 9 month pregnant wife doesn't make it easier lol. I can totally try to work something out for a future weekend if you would like.
  22. I believe we briefly did in the past but now we use Comfort-Aire Geologix units which I think just went through a rebranding but same unit we have used for years. I work on a lot of water furnaces and they share a lot of the same designs/parts. We have had really good luck with them and that's why we don't bother switching to anything else. I don't like to sell anything that needs maintenance on my end so I don't sell cheap units. It doesn't pay for me or the customer to have to work on something constantly. If it wasn't for these units I would probably sell water furnace. As with most companies out there, some has to do with what is available to me from my suppliers
  23. It possibly could be plugged or it could be a zone valve not operating correctly. There are quite a few things that can cause that but running for a minute or two and shutting off is commonly a flow problem. First, can you hear water moving under the initial start up. Maybe best to have someone watch at the drain to see if water is coming out. If there is absolutely no water at all, it could be as simple as a zone or possibly a pump. Many pump and dump systems will rely on mostly well system pressure to move the water.
  24. Out here the hardness isn't as much a problem as the iron is. Iron seems to plug geo and tankless units faster than other deposits out here. I guess I missed reading what the definate problem really was. If it is indeed plugged you are prob out of luck. I commonly use chemicals to flush and clean the units but depending on the water if it is that old it could be too late. After so long you won't get everything cleaned out. Once the deposits form they act as insulators and don't allow for the heat transfer and you lose efficiency as it gets worse. Does the compressor run?
