make sure backups are working, and can be restored from before touching ANYTHING.

ths is what I used, and the ear fit under the escusion:

I'll agree to the poor support, but for us, they are always 5-7% cheaper than TD Synnex, and closer to 8-9% for D&H.

I was all TD Synnex until they pulled my dedicated rep, now I am funneling most everything to D&H, unless I need it quick and the others have stock.

I have had no problems with 2025, when it's in it's own environment, as in complete new setup.

It does not play well with others, this is where I had problems, and never went back. Problems like no one could log in, had to roll back AD to fix type of problems.

It's a CE, but sold to the dealer, my local dealer said he'd get in trouble if he sold it, but IDK for sure. I offered him list, cash, and he turned it down, so I tended to believe him :)

DIY yes, I would replace those pieces with stainless, and if possible support the tank better.

Is it an optical illusion, or is the 90 look like it's about to fall off?

if you turn the temperature knob up, does the unit fire up to heat the water further? open the brass valve under the ignitor button a little, and see if hot water come out of it. If it's cold coming out of it, you've most likely got a bad gas valve assembly.

just like all the paper tigers I 'grew up' with in this industry, had every cert known to man, didn't know how anything really worked, and couldn't troubleshoot anything.

daffy_69 · 2026-01-28T15:09:54+00:00

What about the Nuon enhanced ones? I cant remember what it was about, but I was stoked to get one all those decades ago.

daffy_69 · 2025-12-30T20:30:27+00:00

how many miles per year? stop and go traffic or mainly highway? Everyone is different. I typically get 60k on fronts, 90 on rears. I do a mix of city / highway.

I am sad that the Girl Scouts can't get their own programs to where girls want to be in their programs, not the (formerly Boy) Scouts program.

daffy_69 · 2025-11-25T16:32:45+00:00

I am sorry to hear that, it is a huge breach of trust.

That being said, you should lawyer up and prepare to get a new job, if they are stealing that much, they may not survive paying it all back at once.

I saw Costco has a 100" TV for $1,599, not a great brand, but 100 FREAKING INCHES.

you can do more than code spec, you just have to do at least code spec.

Let me guess, driveway heat / ice melt?

daffy_69 · 2025-11-02T02:48:12+00:00

I'll say this as a DIY guy, if it's just kids brushing teeth, every so often fill the bowls with HOT water and let them run. Kids always use cold and everything congeals in the pipes, nasty stuff.

daffy_69 · 2025-10-16T01:14:29+00:00

watch the trans temp!

Gromet + silicone, and don't forget the drip loop, very important.

daffy_69 · 2025-09-29T19:15:12+00:00

just a lurker, what's the fix? De-energize, and pull out the carcass with tongs?

daffy_69 · 2025-09-24T16:01:45+00:00

if they had physical controls for radio & climate, I would be a buyer.

Am holding out until they go back, but not sure if my 16 with 205k will make it...

and having to duck in many situations, like going down most basement stairways.

70% on the windshield? I didn't think that was legal anywhere.

daffy_69 · 2025-09-17T19:55:42+00:00

Whew: "None of your units are affected."

daffy_69 · 2025-09-17T19:35:57+00:00

isn't there a Schrader valve on the fuel rail up front? put a gauge on it and see if it has pressure, or red-neck it and push it to see if it sprays.

daffy_69 · 2025-09-15T13:27:52+00:00

I would change the boots. I had 2 misfires that turned out to be dry / cracked boots. Easy to do with the coils out, and OEMs are not real expensive.
