I agree. I'm not in service anymore (don't be hatin' me) but I still have
"friends" calling me that I haven't heard from in a long while:

"Hey! How you doin'? Blah-blah-blah Oh, and by the way, I am having trouble
with my heat pump....."

Had 3 last summer where they said "The outside unit is running but the fan
is not and it's getting real hot!" I know it can be several things but each
time I took one of those universal caps with me and each had a swollen
capacitor. Swapped it out and they were up and running. I DID go back on two
of them and put an OEM back on (within a month). The other still has one on
it....

Do you really carry OEM vs. generic parts? Even for common things
like capacitors, contactors, motors, etc?

For example, if Goodman, Rheem, Carrier all specify their own P/N for
the same value run cap then you'd use the P/N from the manufacturer
vs. stocking generic/same value caps from the supply house? You must
have a pretty big station wagon to hold all these OEM parts :-).

Rheem, RUUD, and Weatherking all use the *SAME* parts and part numbers. I
carry enough of basic parts so that I can install exact equivelant value
replacement parts on *most* all systems. In most cases, the parts I install
are a lot better quality than the part that failed.
FWIW, I don't *DO* station wagons.

What's the difference from your Ranger and a station wagon noonie?
Your pickups in most anyones book are personal vehicles.
Lettering a little pickup with a personal cap not a commercial cap is
laughable hack boy.
Hack you ask? Yeah. I bet if you are giving your customers 60% delivered
air they are doing good.
Makes you like every other half-ass like your mentor Turtle.

Sorry, I have *NEVER* owned a Ranger.

Actually not... but then you probably don't have a clue about being
incorporated either.

Sorry sport, wrong again

Yeah right.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be euphoric. Bring your hummingbird ass down
here and observe *FIRST HAND* what I do and how I do it, otherwise STFU
