Jeff,
for my money, these are a maintenence item since they never seem to last
all that long but at abt $25 theyre not exhorbitant and are easy to
replace - just did one on the GT 2 weeks ago........however, the cables
are another story - that part took a lot longer but now having a quiet,
efficient, working heater n these nice autumn mornings is well worth it!!
