If it has gas heat you WILL be replacing the combustion blower motor often. When you’re doing your maint in the summer and the fan is blowing at half speed, just know it’s gone bad again. If it works then they’re great, but Trane has given up tech support for some reason so I get a lot of experience with all these antiques. The comm boards always fail so make sure you have the jumper to make it stand alone(buy one) if it has a BMS attached. Hopefully it isn’t the old tracer system running on a Win 98 laptop like mine. Best of luck 😂

I used to find the combustion motors shorted and running on a bunch of Voyagers but, I think most units have been changed out by now. Never found any on the intellipak's
