      This is not a “fat” test.

          Wow. That looks pretty much painless to use. Have you ever had any trouble with it?

              [Hehe]

              Maybe scare some children.

              Could not stop laughing!

                  A 1/4 in. drive ratchet from Lowe’s.

                  They weren’t all going to be exciting! 🙂

                      After a bit of research, I agree.

                      Nonetheless, it did catch on fire. I’m not sure about his insurance, but he’s okay at least. It caught after he got home and left it for a couple of minutes.

                          Whatever it was, there was a bunch of it jammed up in the socket. Cleaned that out and it works now.

                              I decided to go ahead and try to adapt Eric’s procedure to my cooling system. This made my heat come back. 🙂

                              • Removed the tank cap and started the engine. Let it run for about 10 minutes.
                              • I watched for bubbles coming up in the tank and had to add a little coolant. It has a fill line that I used.
                              • Everything else was the same. Heat on, fan low, etc.

                              Here’s a couple of things that I noticed, and all I can say is I’m glad it’s cold outside this time of year because I think this would be a problem in the summer.

                              • While idling, the engine will warm up and even overheat. This takes a long time – probably at least 10 minutes of idling. The primary cooling fan doesn’t kick on. If I turn on the heater, the secondary fan kicks on and cools everything quickly.
                              • While driving, the engine temp stays at the bottom of the scale. My normal driving doesn’t have me idling more than a few seconds at a time so I never noticed the overheating bit above.

                              I think I need to test the fan circuit but it’s dark outside which is where I work. I’ll do this tomorrow. Am I looking at the right stuff here?
