    Charging question

    When engine is running, pax side battery shows it is receiving 14.4 volts when measured between the posts. Driver's side battery shows 12.8 volts. To me, that means there's a problem in the big red wire running from the pax side battery???

    Front disc brake seizes (right front)

    Been doing this since new (intermittent) and is most probably due to infrequent use. When it locks up, obviously pulls hard right, brake is smoking - to get to release, you gotta pour water on it or let it burn - and boy, does it make steam, enough to do a lobster. Yep, and in time, there's...

    Size of these holes ??? Water Temp Stuff

    I wonder if you guys could look at this picture (if I can post it) and tell what size these holes are. I'm installing a REAL water temp gauge and probably need a thread adapter of some sort (for either one of the holes). The new sensor is an 1/8 NPT fitting. Thanks in advance
