    AC question: pull vacuum on service hoses before connecting?

    Valves closed at the manifold. If you are hooking a refrigerant tank to your center hose you should open the tank valve after you have connected the hose and then purge it at the manifold.

    AC question: pull vacuum on service hoses before connecting?

    You should always purge your hoses out. Air in any type of refrigeration system is bad. When you connect your gauges to a system with pressure on it you should crack the hoses loose at the gauges for a second or two in order to push the air out of the hoses. You should be doing the same thing...

    Anybody have E-15 Ethanol concerns?

    My daily driver is my work van and its flex fuel so I'm not worried about E15. Have been filling up at sheetz with E15 88 when I can just to save a few bucks anyway and I don't notice any difference in fuel economy.

    Walmart out of filters?

    Surprised they even have any endurance filters on the shelf. All the walmarts around here stopped stocking them last year.

    Ram Promaster (FIAT Ducato) cargo/service vans-good or not?

    They are junk. No one in the trades has anything good to say about them. Good friend of mine has one and its on its third engine.

    Rear differential pinion seal seeping - tighten more?

    Check and make sure the vent isn't blocked causing pressure to build up in the diff when it gets hot and force oil past the seal.

    Springtime - Who's started yardwork?

    Started picking up some of the sticks and branches that had been knocked down before last weeks wind storm. Now I have a pine tree down to deal with. We have only had a hand full of really warm days though so far. Still a bit early here but the grass is starting to turn green a grow.

    You’ll never see $70 oil again.

    Those in the know are saying it will take 10 years to restore the production and refining capacity that have been destroyed so far. Oil refineries don't get built or rebuilt over night.

    Question about 80% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) furnace running lower output

    If 3 tons isn't enough to cool 1250 square feet you need better insulation or better windows! Going to 3.5 or 4 tons would be way too big. Probably not enough duct work for that much airflow for one and you would be short cycling and not removing humidity.

    Attic insulation

    Air seal before you add anymore insulation. It makes a huge difference!

    First Brand shutters Champion

    Considering all the different brands that Champion labs has manufactured for it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I feel bad for all the people out of a job and losing another US manufacturer sucks! Really a shame it had to happen this way.
