    Problem with Advantage Lift

    I gave them a call this morning and you're right. This is by design and I probably had the release lever open after I had set the locks. I haven't been able to recreate the issue. I'll keep an eye on it but Advantage Lifts says this is normal.

    Help Me Save an Old Friend - The Stepstool

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have come to the painful decision to let the step stool go. Let me pause for a minute of silence as I throw it in the back of the truck and take it to the dump...

    Problem with Advantage Lift

    I don't remember exactly the sequence of events. Even if I did, I wouldn't expect one cable to act like this. I pulled the car off the lift and ran it up and down without incident. All I can do at this point is to keep an eye on it. I may call Advantage today and talk with them about it.

    Problem with Advantage Lift

    All locks click at the same time. This is a light car. Less than 4K and it was centered on the lift. I'm going to pull the car off and raise it up without anything on it to see if I can determine anything.

    Problem with Advantage Lift

    1st time this has happened in the 3 years I've owned it. Put the Pontiac up on the lift about chest high so I could check the back brakes. So, I initially raised the car up to over my head and then brought it down and engaged the locks. While working on the car, I noticed one of the cables under...

    Help Me Save an Old Friend - The Stepstool

    I've had this thing for many years. I bought it at Lowes a long time ago and it has served me well, mainly helping me to get into the engine bay of various trucks and SUVs I've owned over the years. It is made by Cosco Products (not Costco), right here in the good old USA. Unfortunately neither...

    New HVAC Installation Costs?

    Thanks Diesel_Dan for the information. Fortunately in the 3 years we have lived here, the breaker has never tripped. Appreciate the suggestion of checking the max RLA. I can do that.

    New HVAC Installation Costs?

    I'm looking for advice. We have 3 HVAC RUUD units. All of them are 20 years old. They are all split systems. The smaller one never gets used as it heats and cools an area above the garage. The 3 ton unit is for the basement, which only gets used occasionally. The 4 ton unit services the main...

    Short Sightedness on 4 Post Lift Selection

    In the beginning of 2021 I bought an Advantage lift, a 9000-HD 4 post. At the time I figured this would fit anything I needed, and for the most part it has, but I'm going to be in the market next year for a newer full size truck and my current lift most likely won't accommodate it. As trucks...

    4 Post Lift Twisted on the Way Down

    Update. Everything is re-adjusted correctly. Noticed with nothing on the lift and raising it up seemed to be okay. However, on the way down, one of the columns seems to bind as it went down. So I called Advantage and they advised me to wax all the columns. Apparently this seemed to fix the...

    4 Post Lift Twisted on the Way Down

    All of you are correct. There are several issues I have identified this morning.. 1st - One of the locks was not adjusted properly. Looked like it had dragged on the way down and scratched the paint off the column. This has now been fixed. 2nd - When I was testing the locks this morning. I had...

    4 Post Lift Twisted on the Way Down

    This is a 9K Advantage lift... I had one of our cars on the lift. It was high enough to park a 2nd car underneath. I pulled the car underneath out to retrieve the car on top as it had not been driven in about a month. I jogged the lift upward to release the locks and proceeded to bring the...

    How to Keep Gate Pin Straight?

    Hmmm. I thought all the J bolts were the same.. Yes, it does look too small for the clamp and yes, the J bolt is not upside down, as someone could easily lift the gate off the pins if it was the other way. This ***** either way. If I have to get larger pins, I will have to disassemble the whole...
