Good evening everyone.

Found out I'll be on the road next week to Fort Knox for a couple days. Then a school in South Carolina in January. Good to see them sending me south during the right time of year!

Here are some interesting rocks that someone in our group called Desert Rose.. They look like quartz that was melted a dripped into a rose like pattern. I have one of these rocks at home that is probably 2 x 3"... i have no idea if that is right or not..

No dealer near me, but I may order one online.. I am going to take a good look at the connection and see if I may have introduced some water to it when I pressure washed the rig...
"corrosion and conductivity interference" is not going to cause the ECT signal to bounce around like that IMO

I've seen it happen. Bad ground on a vehicle and the cooling system became charged causing errors in temp reading. Weird but can happen.

Sure, a bad ground, but adding dielectric grease to the connector is not going to fix that either
