Any issues doing just the rear? Or is there a reason people just do the rear? Is the stance better having the back lifted ?
@mikesdoityourself

@passatman1000 Hello, I thought the stance was better, but I replaced the rear springs only because the back end lowered/sagged a lot when I towed a small travel trailer. The springs made a big difference, and I was able to get rid of the air bags within the rear coils. It also seemed better riding when not towing anything. Good luck with your project!- Mike

Hello. I have a 2010 Altima 2,5L 110K. I cleaned my valve cover 1 year ago but there is again little oil on it and around the pcv valve. Do I have a problem or is it the same with your altima? TY

If you have oil around it, the valve may need to be tightened some more, or the hose on it may need replacement. You could try a clamp on the hose if there isn't any right now. Good luck with your project!- Mike

I would replace the whole toilet myself or have someone replace it for me if you're not able to. All you'll need is to be able to shut the water off at the wall next to the toilet, then you're able to replace it. The tools needed are sockets, socket wrench, or an adjustable wrench, and a flat head screwdriver. You might need a new hose or fill tube leading from the water supply going to the toilet. There are many videos showing how to replace a toilet. Good luck with your project!- Mike

Im have this system for a bed lift of my Riverstone, Im getting that same code, but everytime I go to raise it, the motor on one side seems to active, and when I go to lower it, the opposite side seems to only work, causing it to know be crooked and put me in a pickle.....any thoughts? Would greatly appreciate it being this system on a bed isn't that common and troubleshooting knowledge is limited.

I've never had a bed leveling system, only 2 hydraulic pistons with one on each side of the bed. I would say the jamming motor may need to be replaced, or look at the tracks on both sides and make sure there are no broken teeth, or check for a possible detached, misaligned or bent track.

What if one motor refuses to move in?
@mikesdoityourself
@mikesdoityourself Ай бұрын
I don't have a video for it, but it could be an issue with the motor itself. I recently had an issue with water getting in between the slide and the wall of the RV, hitting the top of the motor. The motor had seized and had to be replaced. With some RV's, you can try to move the slide by hand and see if you can get the slide moving. With some RV's, there is a way, underneath the slide, to disconnect the motor to get the slide pushed in or out. Good luck with your project!- Mike

That was a fairly new unit you replaced. You also stated in a comment that in this installation that the hot wires are each 110. But your meter reads 120 volts and you are even saying 120 in the video. So maybe they are burning up those 208 volt water heaters with the 240? I’m not electrician. I came to watch this because I’m replacing an old one. The old ones are not volt specific and range between the 208-240. Must have been more expensive to manufacture so they went with specific voltage units? I’m just trying to figure out weather or not it’s safe to install the way you did with the 208 model on the supply of 240. Because the 208’s are readily available. Ty
@mikesdoityourself
@mikesdoityourself Ай бұрын
In this case, I believe the units were failing prematurely because there is a separate water filter in this system that utilizes one of the water lines leading to the refrigerator. When this water line is shut off to change the filter, it's important to turn off the power going to the Tankless water heater. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the coils may go a few seconds without water and burn out. These water heaters are made to operate within a certain range, so slight differences in voltages should be OK for normal operations. Good luck with your project!- Mike

You are releasing mold spores into the air when you scrub it with a toothbrush!! Mold spores are toxic and cause mold illness, which is no picnic, take it from me. You need to set up a containment area with plastic to seal up the bathroom so the mold spores don’t spread into the rest of the house and have HEPA fans in the bathroom. Also, you should be wearing some kind of a mask or ventilator, so you are not breathing in the spores that you are scrubbing out of the toilet tank.

Normal voltage at the fridge/freezer LED strip would be 5 to 12 volts DC. You may have an issue with your PCB (printed circuit board). You could have a failed resistor on your PCB that leads to your LED strip. I would check the wire leads going out of your PCB to your LED strip and see if that's the issue.

On most systems that have backup or emergency heat, there is a brown wire that goes to E terminal. The white wire would go to the W terminal for primary Heat.

Can you just do the final top off with the engine running? I don't have the fill adapter and i used a hand fluid extractor to add the fluid. With the engine off, it dumps fluid. With the engine running, it dribbles three drops then nothing more. I replaced the cooler lines due to leak so I have no clue how much fluid was lost. Added 4 quarts so far. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
@mikesdoityourself
@mikesdoityourself 4 ай бұрын
Yes, that last addition of fluid with the engine running, you should get a decent amount of fluid coming out- maybe 1/4 quart or less. Once the drippage slows, you know it's topped off or at the right level. I would keep adding until you have this happen, just keep an eye on the temperature because it can affect the fluid level.
