I replaced the radio in the Dodge 3500 if that's what you're doing. Required an adapter faceplate to make up for the odd size (1.5) radio with cassette that was in there originally. As others have...

I would guess that it was. The burner tube did not really contain anything. I was able to brush it with a flex brush and didn't really get anything out. I did soak both the tube orifice and the...

Yes! Thanks for the advice. When I started it up it clicked and went into reset as the air was purged from the line. Next time it started up after 4-6 clicks of the ignitor. Then after turning it...

If you want some feedback comparison, you should probably include more info on yours; like the year and the engine. If it's older 10-14 is probably typical but hard to tell without knowing more.

I've begun disassembly and cleaning of WH. Burner tube appears to have orifice as integral piece. New ones on line look exactly like this but claim to have "61" stamped on them to identify orifice...

Al vs. Mag

Water heater. Always wondered: What's the difference between aluminum and magnesium anode rods? One better than other? One better for hard water, etc.

Thank you all for your replies. I think that I'll clean the burner/jet and test the gas pressure at the unit. Then try some startups while I'm here at home and see if the "thump" recurs. ...

You mentioned wander. On my 97PW I find that making sure my airbags are filled to 55psi (PW recommends 60) helps to insure that the weight emphasis is more toward the front wheels. That helps...
