Mr. George, a lot of good contractors are tied up with the nuke plants at SRS (always changing something) and now Waynesboro (adding two reactors, will be the largest civilian nuke facility in US when it comes on line). That leaves the lesser guys when you can find them. And my water is down stream from both plants......

Not always the lesser guys. When I was a weldor/fitter in the 80's I was trying to get on at a nuke, can't remember now which one in the mid-atlantic area, and kept calling them to find out about coming to test. They kept putting me off as they were having problems. After about a month they told me they had everyone they needed. That they'd been having problems with people not being able to pass the welding tests so they lowered the requirements.

I meant that the high paying gig has sucked up all available workers leaving a vacuum, plus with new home building at a crawl...

ordered mine today . will post the results when in . cant beat the price and free shipping too ?? if this works i may have to rethink the old saying " if it seems too good to be true, it probably is " ......

its been in the high 80's / 90's here and she shakes off the temp guage movement by putting the heat on . brings her right back in line. poor kids are deliveing pizza in this heat , with the damn heat on full blast . kid came home soaked the other day but at least he made his tips and can toss old dad a few bucks toward the rad ! if i can actually put the a/c on this summer when on a ride, that would be sweet.

The fact that it is an exact fit drop in replacement is great. As long as they hold up well.

Glad to see a few guys trying them out. Like Savannah had said, they must be better than an older bad one!

Call them and ask when new stock will arrive. My bet is they went like hot cakes. I posted my buy on another local board and I know atleast 3 other guys bought them. The posted at one point they only had 20.
