Alabama thread!

You can be just as efficient with the sticks if you eat with them long enough. I've got the wife and 3 kids eating with sticks on some nights, depending on what we're having.

 

Held onto it for almost 2 years

 

Like hold the bowl to my face and shovel it in.

 

That's how you're supposed to do it! Shovel it into your face with the sticks! lol

 

You get your sliders on?

 

Yeah I did, but had to pull em off due to fitment issues.

 

Dang! Getting my sliders the weekend of the 28th!

 

You'll be fine, you have a DCSB. The rear cab mount on the access cabs is about 3/4" further forward than the DCSB.

 

oh gotcha. Sorry that sucks

 

Hey @whitedlite I’m installing my new garage door opener today. Question for you...

My garage door does not have safety springs or a torsion spring. That actually was pointed out in the original home inspection but the opener never worked so I didn’t care and I’ve just opened it by hand since I’ve lived here. Will not having those springs affect the operation of the new opener?

 

how easy can you lift the door.

The springs will prolong the life of the gears in the opener, I've saw doors light enough people don't worry with it. I'd personally replace them if able or the door can't be picked up without you straining or say an elderly person couldn't open it.

 

I can open it pretty simply. I don’t mind adding them down the road just wondering if I can run the new opener today and say if I don’t get those for like a month is the opener going to be ok?

 

The springs will take a little stress off of your opener, by helping to lift the door, instead of the opener lifting the whole weight of the door. If you have the coil spring around the bar, above the door inside, I wouldn't mess with those. The springs running parallell to the door tracks are easy to adjust.

 

I have zero springs of any kind lol

 

I think it would prolong the life of your opener if you had some assistance from springs. Go with the coil spring around the shaft. It's safer if they so happen to break, they remain on the shaft. Springs that run with your tracks could be dangerous when they break and they have enough potential energy they could cut you wide open when they break.

 

You’ll have to show me a picture of what you’re saying I should get

 

So that’s ALL I need? No springs on the tracks?

 

These are the old school way of installing the door springs.
