Default RE: Now what the he** did I do?WTF!!!

Dakota TC....I am happy to say there is no bend to the lowers or anything like that. The initial wheel "injury" was just a small flat spot on the rim itself, probably from a pothole or something. I do think the problem is solved with the spacers switched around now. Thanks for the reply....and yes, if you blast into a good sized road obstacle like a pothole or something, it can definitely subsequently effect all sorts of other front end components, luckily not to me this time.

You need two wheel therapy !

Go ride the bike, the problem will still be there when you get back!

But just won't seem as big or bad .

Well I am glad to see you got the issue with your brake solved butcher... soon as i read your post I was thnking the same thing glide was... but about that hot water heater... I aint no plumber but I have had a time or two with my frickin water heater [:@] about every 2 years I have to drain it suck out all of the
G0)amn lime build up at the bottom of the tank and replace the lower heating element.. its an electric heater... did it recently pop a circut breaker if its electric? is it possibly a bad heating element?.. is it gas or electric? .. do you live where there is alot of lime in the water? do you have a water softner? ... I'll bet that we can help you find a reasonable and cost effective solution with that one too.. (not being a smart A..) for real...

Just re-read your post.. is it a bad switch of some sort?

Frank,
It's actually the temperature sensor. It can't recognize that the water gets colder and colder until the whole tank is unheated. Then I have to go and reset it time after time after time to get it to ignite and fire. My brother in law is a heating and air guy and has diagnosed it as the sensor. The company won't warranty it and so I have no choice but to buy the sensor unit for the 200 bucks.....or a whole new water heater for 590. It's power vented and those damn things are expensive.
I appreciate the offer to help, I wish it was a simple fix or something we could fugure out and fix without spending cash, but what can you do.
Take care and thanks again for the concern.
