Ahab, those are factory work lights, which I replaced with dirt cheap LED 60-degree work lights, front and rear. Unlike Mr. Hood, I thought it was better to see good than to look good. And the installation was pain(t)less. On the SEE the protective...um, hood, was left off, which helped quite a...

Ron, the blinker sound is coming from the area between the heater and the steering column, probably higher up under the dash. Hope that helps. As far as the SEE being an insult to trucks goes, I'm not so sure. Trucks, by definition, have a cargo area which you put things on. No such thing on my...

Good point, Ahab. But I do have several gallons of anti freeze I could add should that happen. Realistically, though, there would be other things I'd be more concerned with than being able to clean out the irrigation ditches. It would definitely give me more incentive to get the hydraulic snow...

True, one never knows when a simple navigational mistake could make us end up in Siberia with the SEE. Then being safe at down to -62 degrees could be a good thing. Since I've lost my passport I couldn't go there anyway, so a mere 30 to 40 percent works fine for me with temps rarely going below...

I put it on the list for tomorrow to listen for it. If the turn signals work (not sure that I ever tried them) and it's a normal flasher, I should be able to hear where it is. Hopefully it's not under the hood.

I never did get any paperwork with mine, which might be what has saved me from all the electrical work you guys have to deal with. Mine is not ratified.

Well, there's always the more or less direct connection between rodents and the SEE. In German the SEE is a "gerate".

Hot doggity! That's probably what happened.

Without resorting to using tax dollars, I happen to know what attracted rodents to mid 2000s GM pickups. For whatever reason, GM thought it'd be a good idea to lube up the wiring harnesses with (basically) peanut butter. As far as them liking the SEE goes, maybe it's like people often...

Alright, you got me curious. Why would you want to be at the upper limit? I always try to stay at the lower limit, enjoying the increased heat transfer and money savings that result from using as little anti freeze as possible. And speaking of anti freeze, I captured some in a bucket when the...

I'd remove the plug a seal carefully, then stick them back in. If you end up ruining the seal, Expedition Imports and others should have them...if there's no generic replacement.

What? Of straight rods? Looks just like your straight ones, except that mine are now painted (largely) flat black, so they're hard to see. Until I lay that one on its side, that is.

Congratulations! Now you can start (no pun intended) using the screwdriver for other things. And being 20 gal. short will definitely give you nice and low blood pressure. Which can be helpful when working on certain vehicles. All I got done today was reinstalling the formerly bent axle locating...

Yeah, 60+30 is indeed only 90, but if Gadget also decides to add the Lucas Super Coolant stuff he mentioned, there has to be some room left for it, right? Why the over 50/50 mix I don't understand, though. We get down to -20 at times, and I can get by with 30% anti freeze, if memory serves me...

It shouldn't be clear, not in Ohio. Yes, you need the necessary additives to keep the water pump happy everywhere, but you also need freeze protection. For now, dump what's in there and and add regular anti freeze of your choice in the percentage needed for your area. You can always replace it...

Alright, how about Minnie MEE, then?

I have yet to change coolant, so I haven't given it any thought. Not sure if the SEE likes the diesel truck type with all the additives, or is fine with regular coolant. There's always the choice between regular (of either kind) and long-life, but I don't think that's what you were asking about...

Ron, I hope you're right. There's plenty of evidence that rodents had planned to make a cozy home in my parts SEE, but so far I haven't found any damage. Lots of twigs and other debris, though. It could be that they picked mine to live in, and used yours and a few others to dine out in. Nah, I...

Hope you didn't have your SEE schematic in front of you on the table.

For those who haven't had the pleasure to hear the warning buzzer, it's LOUD. I ended up disconnecting mine as I didn't always remember to bring ear protection. As far as I know, it only shrieks until the air pressure is up to legal standards, but that's plenty long enough. If it does alert for...
