Time for a new garage door. Not too cheap but done right.
 
Sure, going to Fargo tomorrow and John has already moved south.

Looking at the prices on Lowes site, I can have one built, installed, and the old stuff hauled away for about the same price. It should be around $2 grand total. It is a special order because of the size. 15x6.6. $360 to install with all hardware, tracks, torsion springs and old removal. I'm good with that. Overhead Door Company.

20 years ago , when I built my shop, the local door Co's wanted $3700 for two doors installed. 1, 16X9, the other 12X12. And those were just overhead track doors. I didn't want the doors obstructing the ceiling lights in my shop when they were open. So, I contacted Overhead Doors in Balt. and fooled them into thinking I was a small contractor. I bought both Rolling Steel Doors for $4200 and installed them myself. I used (2) HVAC jacks to get them up in position. Worked out great.....But....I was much younger then..... :thumbsup:

Those roll ups are nice. No overhead hardware, opener, or tracks.
 
Andy, my oldest, has a 16' fiberglass door in his garage. It is a POS, lightweight, crappy construction, the coil springs and cables for the mechanism. You know what I am talking about. Cheap is not good. If you know what I mean.

So, on my 92 D250 Cummins Diesel the alternator was not charging properly. Only showed 12.3 volts. So what do we do? We replace the alternator. Well same issue only 12.3 volts from the alternator. After further investigation I find that the regulator for the alternator is internal to the PCM or ECM. Apparently this is a common problem on these trucks and the PCM also controls the transmission overdrive, the speedometer, the air conditioning ,and more. I would have probably just bought a rebuilt PCM but they are unavailable. Apparently must send yours into somebody and have them rebuild it. But after some further research I found out that a guy on YouTube, interestingly enough, shows you how to repair it. So here it is I've got it apart. Ordered some capacitors for it. We'll fix it in a few days. And see if that works. Always an adventure. But that's how I like it.

Extremely common on those years. Mitsubishi had similar issues with their early PCMs. At least the Dodge ones are repairable. The Mitsubishi ones typically aren’t.

I got a rebuilt ecm from Rockauto. It looked perfect and so far it has worked perfect as well.

Good good. The Mitsubishi ones, when the capacitors leaked, they could eat thru the motherboard and their placement on the motherboard usually meant the leak destroyed the conductors.
