Glad to see you're back. I had saved your link from an earlier post and used it to change my coolant, radiator hoses and to add a billet aluminum thermostat housing and 203* thermostat after New Years.

Some of the guys have missed your website. It's good to know that it has come back to life.

BigDaddy,

You need a link on your site to FTE, too. I also read the site you promote there, but you could promote this one, too, just to be fair.

Sorry its been down, I have have been kinda busy.
I just put that back up last night but its an old version of my site and doesnt have the the links to FTE that the newer version had. I lost the new site during a domain and hosting change. I'm working on a new site and it will give equal billing to FTE.
Then hopefully this spring Ill get to doing some of the things I have planned and add on to the site.

BigDaddy!!!
We were concerned about ya, even started a small thread.
Glad to know your feet are still hitting the floor in the morning!

Medic, I think you have to keep some test strips and add STC to the orange, not positive. May have been something else too, still on my first cup of coffee...

Yup, definately use the distilled water, its funny watching peoples faces at the store when you roll down the isle with a shopping cart crammed with 20 gallons of water.
