I havent done drugs in many years (we all grow up eventually)... but if I did, shrooms would be the ones... pot's organic too, but just makes you phucking stupid - can't stand being around idots completely stoned - I never liked that feeling anyway... stupid is not a good feeling but it's amazing how many pot-heads dont think they are stupid .

It's even more amazing when you challenge them to an intellectual debate

What percentage of coolant to water are you guys using in your radiators? I typically go with 60% distilled water and 40% coolant

that mixture gives the fluid a freezing temperature of -10 (i'm in Dallas so no prob), and a boiling point of 220. since water has the capacity to dissipate more heat than does ethylene glycol, i typically try to use 60% water

Anybody here ever have TPMS issues? My TMPS light is on and won't shut off. Is there a way to test if they are bad? Or only the stealership can do that?

the dealer would need to test the sensors and the sending unit... best bet it to check pressure when the tires are completely cold (with a quality gauge, not those pos inaccurate stick gauges - I like analog dial, but many people prefer digi - both or better than the stick) ... inflate to 35 psi... if the light is still on after driving about 20min/20miles, then you probably have a bad sensor or sending unit... dealer would need to determine.

or find a tire shop that has a TPMS scan tool and they can try to REactivate the sensor itself.

its a Redline product... I dont want to go into the physics (you can read about it) - but it has been independently tested to lower temps (not just by Redline, but various private)... I found out about it several years ago from DaveO when he was writing for SportZ magazine - he did some independent testing too and had good results... I've used it in my G for several years with good results...

Here's a link to the product:
