Yeah. I get that. You definitely need "fire" as a source with those. The electric are too inefficient and lag way too much

So, I am just replacing with another standard electric tank hot water heater.

Morning!
Crappy crap crap outside!

@Old man ray i can relate. Spent countless years fixing everybodys junk,buying tools and equipment to do it. When i got the Barracuda i was still in that mode,busy fixing other peoples ****. When the Fargo showed up, i decided it was time for payback, those tools were going to start paying ME back. I cut back my working hours and i turn away new customers. I need enough to pay the bills, and provide a little to finance my projects. Jobs like this Firebird are what my goal is. Long term,work at my own pace and and get paid fairly. I may have 2 more projects coming,which will carry me for 6 months,giving me enough to cover bills for the rest of the year.i may get a couple months off to do my own stuff. Thats the goal.

Great plan. Your work always looks good. I'm sure it will work out.

I've been sleeping the best I have in years, once I decided it's time to simplify my life.
Tossed the worker bee mentality and getting involved in helping others, that take up most of my time.
Not that I still won't help someone in need, just spend more of my days on me time.

I too am going thru that very process. Today we are doing a plant wide inventory in preparation of me handing it over to the new guy. It is bittersweet for sure. I fully realize he will run the business his way but man it is still hard emotionally. I am putting all my effort into mentoring him and trying to make him successful. I am going to start taking more “me” time during the transition. My staff has mixed feelings over the changes. Several of them have worked for me in a previous life and moved to Fargo stating simply that they wanted to work for me and did not care in what capacity. They have all been rock stars and made great money. Ya gotta get your wallet out to entice folks to move up here!

Plus @Old man ray and @toolmanmike

Waxing philosophical for a moment...

Getting our minds to accept that we are not defined by our Job is a significant challenge. And rather liberating in the moment. I have many times told the gang that I had responsibility over this: "If it slides to the right and doesn't get done today, nobody dies....we all go home"

Tough to maintain context.

Ok, back to lizard brain :lol:
 
Any of you guys know what the CH codes are on some mopar electricals? Stock number ? or cross back to the supplying company?

In this example the top stamped number is the Chrysler part number.
But sometimes I see stuff w/o the chrysler number.

The CH numbers are the shelf numbers instead of using the long Mopar part number. Aftermarket did that a lot. Ch for Chrysler corp, DR for Delco Remy, and FO or FD for Ford.

Good morning men. Company coming to sign close papers. So of course two days of spring cleaning.....got up at 4 to steam the floors. Again....
 
CH and AL( NORS) are Chrysler. PIA sometimes looking at the books and they list a ch number for use but no XXXXXXX number. I have yet to find a book that converts the CH to a part number

Forgot AL (Autolite)
 
Soe things are a real PIA to figure out those stupid retard vac advances the control box has one part number, the vac part another, the unit together is usually listed as a ch number or the part number, so if you have one neither number on it can be found in any book! I have most of those figured out but not all of them.

Cheryl is going through the same thing. Yesterday, she told me she was kind of out of sorts with retiring. She's looking forward to it, but unsure also with the transition. She like many has worked the last 30 years both full-time and 22 years in the Reserves and served on countless professional and community boards. She's use to giving, mentoring, and go, go, go. It will be an adjustment for her, but she'll be ok and I'm looking forward to spending more time with her.

Good Morning everyone. Short day today, getting a new water heater. My current one is an commercial 80gal unit from 1978. Finally rotting from the inside. Lots of iron in the water, but only on the hot side. Still heats water amazing, hate to see it go, but water smells now, stains everything.

@toolmanmike will be over to help with the install :rofl:
That's a long run for a water heater. Sadly, don't expect anywhere close to that out of the next one.
Good Morning.
