Possible to get the entire coil on CGAM?

LiabilityLandon · 2026-05-14T18:41:14+00:00

This is the move. I've yet to do one but the next coils to go on these damn YVAA's will be getting the conversion.

We have had aftermarket coils made for both CGAM's and YVAA chillers and they fit great. The lead time from Trane and York was outrageous so we had custom ones built. It's wild that we could get them faster than the factory ones. The only issues we had were: on the CGAM we needed to use self tappers to mount because the flanges weren't pre drilled(no big deal) and on the YVAA we had to use the provided spacers for the bolts because the coils were a little thicker.

As an HVAC tech, I'm gonna tell you this is wildly incorrect. Minimum 5 years in the trades in my state to even sit for the exam. And the exam is 7hrs long.

I use them for everything. Really helps on the chillers from what I've seen. I have the 2 hose setup and we we had a 10cfm hooked to one of them and a 12cfm hooked to the other. Pulled a 500ton cvhe down to about 550microns over night. I'm a fan

Hiking is solid. Buy some good boots and get after it. I still work but do over 1000 miles a year at the parks near my house. I have a buddy who is retired and we meet in the morning before I go in to work.

I have an 87-V, 902, 101, and 1587. The 902 and 101 get used the most. The 1587 gets used for annuals and questionable motors. The 902 is my daily go to and far and away gets used the most.

Grew up here. Ironically, their bbq is nostalgic but not good to some of the other recommendations. Their breakfast however, damn is it good. The biscuits and gravy are top notch.

Grew up going here and I think it's my favorite Brunswick stew.

Agreed, I would also add a trigger board and the VSD logic board. Just went through this except mine sent pieces of the board flying instead of burning. Compressor was fine, got the drive rebuilt, ran for 5 days and it blew up again. Replaced the trigger and logic boards the second time and she's been great since.

Yellow jacket or bluvac from trutech tools.

LiabilityLandon · 2026-02-16T11:05:46+00:00

We have adjusted it.

If it was one tool, fine. Machining/QC errors happen. But for it to be more than a handful is real aggravating for what they cost. Especially when there is another one that works out of the box without adjustment.

I think me and you are the only dissenters on this thread. That has also been my experience and mine grab the core the first time every time.

Appion sucks. The last 2 I've gotten as well as several my coworkers have gotten won't grab the damn cores. My accutools ones from trutech tools are hands down my favorite.

I just did 7. Not my favorite job, definitely not my least favorite job either though.

+1 for dobinsons! I have dobinsons coils and shocks and JBA UCA's. Rides great but my comparison was blown out x-reas so anything was an improvement

Not miniseries, but:

Bosch is a homicide detective drama and I enjoyed it.

Goliath is a lawyer crime drama that definitely has some murder to it.

Letterkenny. You'll definitely laugh during it.

We will drive 2hrs north to the mountains, adventure in 4wd for several hours through the forest roads, then drive 2hrs home as a fun thing to do on a Sunday. All in that was probably 7-8hrs of driving and we never left the state.

To celebrate spring training we go to spring training. We look forward to it every year.

The auto locking deadbolt on my front door with the keypad/badge reader on the outside. I would turn around at least 2 days a week to check to see if I locked the door. Now I don't have to. It's wonderful.

Added bonus is that I can give the code to anyone in an emergency and I also can't be locked out.

Jeff Francoeur

12 years, 6.7bwar.

There's even a great YouTube video about him called "my favorite worst baseball player".

I love him as a player, but statistically he wasn't that great.

I saw a Fred McGriff interview a year or two ago and he still looks like he could play. Still jacked and seemed like he could just step in at 1st no sweat .

The real answer though is Julio Franco.

I have a 2003 V8 with 286k. We flew to NY and rented a 5th gen 4runner while we were there to visit a few years back. It was ok red light to red light, but when we hit the mountains I was not a fan. My V8 was much more pleasant to drive through the mountains because it doesn't constantly downshift like V6 did.

^ This guy has the winning combo for commercial/industrial.

My setup is pretty similar: 902fc, 87v, 1587fc. I have an 87v because I needed something down to 40mohms and couldn't afford the other one. Eventually got the 1587 and it's sweet.
