This may have been asked previously, but I didn't find any answers. Does anyone know the current specs on the drawer slides in the US General 56" roller? I was hoping it would be better than the 100lbs max that is in most of the budget boxes. I posted in the Tool forum but there was no action...

Cents not dollars!

Ditto on the electric vs gas, my 750sq.ft garage costs me about $100/mo to heat with a 10kw tankless for my in floor heat. This is a well insulated building, and I keep it at about 58 degrees for the winter, very comfortable heat.

I too was left with the same 750 sq.ft. limit, and I ended up building 23x34 so I could fit 2 cars end to end along one wall of the garage. The extra 40 sq.ft ended up outside the man door but under the roof, made a nice entrance to the garage without getting wet when it rained out.

There is a key piece of info missing here. What lug nuts do these wheels take? Do they have a tapered seat, or is the face flat where the wheel nut goes. I've been in the business a long time and I still see people putting the wrong nuts on all the time. The fact that you said you tried an SS/t...

I'm currently using a Titan 10kw tankless heater and have been happy with it. Garage is 23x34, 1.5" Celfort under the slab, 2x6 walls, R22 in the walls, and currently just R14 in the attic. I keep the garage at about 57 degrees, it's really comfortable for working. Oh yeah, I'm in Ontario, so...

Bread knife with Roxul, works like a dream!:thumbup:

I'm definitely open to the possibility of a bad unit, but rather than just assuming that, I'd thought I'd get a few ideas to see if there's anything I hadn't tried. That's the one problem with an opener that has such a good reputation, there's not much troubleshooting info.

It appears as though the monitor is simply a microswitch, the door acts the same with the microswitch in either position. What more could there be to it?

I jumpered the monitor terminals so the unit doesn't care whether it is hooked up or not. I will try the force limits first if I can actually get it to react the way the instructions suggest it should.

Thanks guys, this thing has me at the end of my rope! I have been going through the manual again today for a couple of hours trying to figure it out, it just appears to want to do something different each time. One thing I did try that seems odd, I checked continuity on my cable tension switch...

I'm normally a very patient guy, but this thing is a *************. I bought it almost 2 years ago, and haven't been able to get it to once open the ******** door properly. I have done exactly as the instructions say when it comes to setting the limits, yet it always exceeds the upper limit. The...

My bad, I was thinking Epoxy Guard.:lol_hitti
