They were used and treated identically. Maybe just a change in parts quality or design?

Chris,

Whoever is overhauling your unit is the problem, not the parts. These units work fine when done correctly and with the factory parts.

Try another shop and have them overhaul the unit and ask them to do it right and not shrimp on parts to save money.

You should get 2-3 years easily out of a overhauled unit and this cost is less than $50-75 in parts. Mine runs 6-8 hours every night with absolutely no problems, just like T951's.
