    Hey all,

    Currently i am in the process of restoring my heater box (have a thread in "The Big Chill" section, but low traction there). My question is that i tested the two vacuum actuators on the box and they both operate fine. I got vacuum up to 20" on both actuators (tested independently) and they held vacuum with no loss for about 10-15 minutes. Should I still replace them since the box is out? I would hate to have them crap out once the box is back in, but would hate to get some repops and have them be crap too.

    Thanks for the advise,

    Scott

    No, if they hold vac that long they should be fine.

    I'd keep them. The actuators are pricey and rather hard to find.
