I have to keep turning the cold down. I have replaced the dip tube and the thermocouple. Is there something I am over looking? It is a gas water heater. Thanks

Need more info about water heater such as:

# of gallons

How old

Brand name/manufacture

What type of water lines leading to tank

# of gallons of hot water before going cold

and

is it only being noticed in the showers.

Turn the temp up to 140 take water temp when the burner cuts off see if temp is right. Has the performance changed in last 6 months of use? Maybe the burner is dirty?
