By no means am I an expert, but I have done my own garage door installs. I would say yes, if you had someone install your door and/or springs, then they need to reverse the orientation of the cables to where they ride on the side of the drum closest to the wall. This way the lifting force is...

That is correct - the new series is the HDS. But, from what I can tell, there must have been some production overlap because my HD-14 has some of the new model features such as the zerk fittings on the sheave pins. At least my understanding is that this feature was added to the newer models...

There is a forum for chevy/gmc "diesel"s with "place" in the name that has a great how-to write-up with pictures showing explicitly the problem these trucks have when the pads are not fit properly. It goes on to show how to properly fit the pads and other pointers to make the brakes on these...

You bet - I "hope" to have some time this weekend to get it near the stage of firing it up and testing. I am this evening cleaning all the sheaves and pulleys getting ready to string the cables. Also need to run the circuit for power - finally got the 30A GFCI breaker in this past week...

X2 - BTDT - piece of cake. Cost about $275 when I purchased and included a remote light and one remote transmitter/opener. After installing one of these, I'll never go back to a traditional style opener - jackshaft all the way. I also installed my own high-lift track - a little more...

Did you get one of the last of the old stock HD-14's? I just purchased one about 3 weeks ago. Great price - same as the HD-9's. I also have a 2500 HD Diesel and wanted the piece of mind of the extra capacity since I roll through the scales at about 8000 lbs. Pay attention to your post caps...

9' pour is typically 10" thick; BUT, what are your soils like? Crappy soils could result in the need for additional steel reinforcement, beefier footings and drainage on the soil side. You may want to check with a foundation engineer. As far as cost - hard to say - how many corners? Any...

Do you really want to be found if you are busy in the garage? :confused:

Can someone post a picture of the post caps of their HD-9/14 or any similar Bendpak 4 post lift so I can see how well the post cap fits relative to coverage of the entire end of the post? My caps vary in width by about 1/16" from one side to another and the fit is such that not all of the end...

Nice '64 on the ground - what year is the white one on the lift opposite bay?

x2 - I just took delivery of one this past week and am about to begin assembly. I would like to see pictures and/or video of the problems you are experiecing.
