Can the humidifier be mounted on the returm plenum?

After 32 years, I decided it's not worth repairing and maintaining my Autoflo 200P. I'll probably replace it with an Aprilaire 500. There's no easy room to mount the Aprilaire on the hot plenum...

Yes it is. I already have it hooked up and running the a/c. I tried to run the heat, but it's either not heating, or it's too warm to verify function. It was 78 deg in the unit here in Florida. I...

I wouldn't pay $170, but I wouldn't ignore it. Cabin filters are pretty much done after about 15K. When spent, they can be a drag on the blower motor and reduce heat/ac effectiveness. Try looking...

I've cleaned injectors myself. That's because I have access to an ultrasonic cleaner. I can't imagine cleaning injectors without one. I also reverse flush by forcing the fluid backward.

I believe there's a relay for the starter up in the engine compartment. It may be nestled with three other relays (a/c cutout, fuel pump, radiator fan). Over time the contact points get burned with...

I'm a big proponent of completely exchanging transmission fluid at regular interval. The first flush is the most important as it gets rid of break-in debris. It should ideally be done around 20K.

The battery is not neccessarily toast. Try trickle charging the battery with 2 amps for two days. Jump starting will not revive a battery.
