    modine 175 btu bd heater

    My modine did the same thing. I changed out the control unit and it works good now. I'm not sure if your is the same but mine would kick the exhaust fan on but would not light. It's like it would not allow the gas valve to turn on. If you need I'll get the number off mine and then compare them.

    I had a mac dealer that up and quit. I never carried a balance with him but after 3 months the guys that did had creditors coming after them for what they owed. No notice was given.

    floor jack to put car on ramps

    It should lift that high for your ramps. If it's a little bit shy put a 2X4 on your jack pad to get a little more lift. I have used it to put a corvette on ramps and it worked just fine.

The word of mouth from my customers keeps me plenty busy. The key is to be mindful of your neighbors. I...
