1100 dollar thank you

So here my first installment on my IOU to all you fine folks.
You'll have to take credit cause I can't send each member a $0.17 check.
My truck is on its last month of extended warranty, 158,000 miles, and my FICM was bad, not covered.
So I bought the Torque app and a cheap OBDII bluetooth thing and checked it out. An hour and a half later, my strongest Walmart readers, a good desk lamp and my soldering iron and I'm back in business. 46.5 to 48 volts at all times and a neat monitoring tool to boot!
All aluminum radiator is sitting in the garage, next project!

Many, many thanks to all, you guys really rock!!!!!
I am a remodeling contractor so any and all questions anyone has on even the most inane home project, I will answer without hesitation or bias. It's all I got and I'm happy to share.
Pete

Congrats Pete! DIY feels pretty good (when it comes out right ). I may take you up on the remodeling advice, I have a bathroom remodel lurking in my future and have a few questions on the shower floor area.

I once sent out a big thank you and the best advice that I got back was to help support this site.

This place has saved me alot of money and I'm greatful for all that has helped me directly or indirectly so I'd like to help make sure that as long as I have my 6.0 this site sticks around.
Had my truck since I bought it new in '04.

+1, after this site saved my truck, I too didn't know how to repay that and thought the best way is to become a site supporter, best money I ever spent

I've been mulling over re-upping -- so thanks for putting this thread out and putting me over the edge. Great people, great support, I try to give back by helping here and there but my knowledge is just so limited...

Hey is this tax deductible?!

and my old tee shirt was getting tattered besides...
