ohh well more service hours
The York furnace has a 10 year parts warranty and a lifetime heat exchanger warranty. Need to read the fine print on the labor component of that as the labor to do some of that work will exceed the new furnace costs.
A great deal of the cooked secondary heat exchanger is due to improper leveling of the unit causing the condensate to pool and rot out the exchanger.
That 15 year old Trane has the typical hot spots for an inshot burner but otherwise the exchangers are sound. Going to put the thing on Kijiji as a parts furnace.
