You're doing it wrong. This time of the year you are supposed to escape hades (az) and drive away from it as far as you can or as high as you can.

My overhead console died on me, thanks to some threads in here I was able to tear it apart and find a bunch of loose resistors as well as some missing. Got my Google Fu on and found a guy on eBay selling them for $3.75 each. Didn't like that price so I found a supplier of the 68ohm resistors (680) that go in there, ordered a bunch so if anyone needs them let me know and I can set you up with some for .20 cents each. (Not selling them just passing my findings on to you guys that may have trouble finding them like I did
Oh yeah also ordered a new grill, and some head lights!

Have you corrected the speedometer for the big 37"s, that change over the stock 31.5"s will throw the fuel mileage numbers way off, and you have to do the calculation by hand not rely on the overhead Lie-O-Meter.
The speedo is driven by rear axle rotations, so a gear change will not affect the speed shown but bigger tires will.

Well I did take a mpg hit when I went from skinny 17 stockers to 325/55/20's, but those stock steelies look like training wheels.

The receiver has not come yet. 
My email from eTrailer while I was gone.

The eot in my Ex runs that high towing in the summer, but after ten years with no problems I worry less.

Ok cool, I've got synthetic blend oil in it, and change it at a max of 4,000 miles... So I know it's not really breaking down, I just wasn't sure how hot everyone else's runs..
