Makes perfect sense as to why there are 2 relays now!
Very interesting! Knew there were two wires but not two separate curciuts. Maybe to prevent "Over-Glow" and combustion?
Suspect it's the same for pre start cause volt meter shows same drain as when running? (This input from an electrically challanged member )

Cant trust the voltmeter though... I moves according to what the computer thinks it should move to... Reports have been that you can disconnect the grids and the volt meter will still show current draw just like the grids were connected

I also plan to be in Alvarado between 2 and 3. I talked with Tyler awhile ago and he said they will be running late, but will be there on Friday.

Flying back from Atlanta on Thursday, plan to head that direction sometime around mid-day on Friday. Definitely with enough time to stay away from traffic.

Old school speak for the HO engine and 6 speed transmission.

Those were the product codes for those two options. Back in the old 2nd gen days, people would list ETC (SO) or ETH in the sig to know which engine/trans you had. Guess that shows the age of my signature. Might be time for updating....

I'm so old school I still think that BC is Before Christ and AD is After Death. I was shocked when someone said thats not the definitions anymore.
