I normally go to Mesquite in Spring, March or April. Sometimes Fall like October.

Seafood buffet is every Friday at the Casablanca and Virgin River

I'm planning middle of March 2014.

Okay, I was thinking I read something in the FICM testing thread about down to 36 volts being not great, but okay. It was at 45 most of the time that it was cranking, but did hit 44 for a moment. When the mechanic tested it he called it good. I'll try it again for good measure, but if I need to send it off I will... I assume trying to get it fixed around here would most likely end up with everyone I talk to trying to sell me a whole new one.

What do I need for gauges? Something like a Scan Gauge?

on edit - Bullit, I see you're using an I-phone monitor. Do you recommend that?

SGII would be a Good Start

a Dash Boss would be a Better Step UP for a Gauge if you have a smart phone maybe they work on Tablets too I bet they do

Try this its sounds cool and cheap might be Good its New so IDK anything about it

Okay, I'll try to get some sort of monitoring system found this week, and some oil additive. And recheck the FICM with my old volt meter. I'll let you all know how that goes.

Thanks everyone for the help - it's very much appreciated.
