Looks like I'll be ordering a water pump for the Ex. It just started leaking all that brand new red kool-aid I just added. Sigh....

I decided I need some better hitch/sway control for the camper.... Pullin the train isn't all that hot at 70mph. As of now I just have a equalizer hitch. But I did manage to get a 5.5mpg..... Didn't matter if I drove 60, 65, 70, or 75. Still gets crap. So might as well make it all tow strait as a arrow at 75.... Or am I just thinking silly?

Finally got around to installing my Dual USB ports. Work great.






Also threw in a beefier jack to compliment the stocker. Don't have a whole lot of confidence in the little guy.




Cheer,

Nate

When I push the button for the rear washer fluid I hear the fluid pouring down somewhere on the passenger side. Sounds as though it is running down the A pillar.

Is there a write up? Something to look for?

The windshield washer fluid runs into the cab at the passenger's side floorboard. There is a connection there under the carpet where mine came unhooked. From there it runs back. Along the door seal. When I hit mine I could hear water flowing, but didn't notice where it was coming from till it started leaking onto the ground.

Mine unhooked there as well. It was due to the fluid freezing in the winter. Now I run the low temp stuff all season long as I don't drive it enough to fill more than once or twice a year. No problems since.

Thanks! Is there a pic of the actual location floating around? I will have to poke around today.

I don't have a pic, but go to the passengers side and start pulling the carpet back towards you from the top of the footwell, have a helper hit the switch and it will be all too obvious. :-)

Make sure you wear your safety glasses.

I just pulled my passenger kick panel, and pulled back the carpet it was pretty easy to find. . I'll see if I can find a picture for you.

Glad your feeling better!

Since your "free" header deal didn't work out, I think you should sell the Y pipe to recoup your outlay.

Happy 4th early everyone!

Now back to my 2013 rear bumper install...

I wish! I can go through a gallon in a few days, in the spring time...hate that nasty road spray from melting snow

I've found the -30F stuff i use still gets slushy sooner then it should...-10F it comes out pretty slow.
