    LOL.. that was my first thought too.

    Coolant temp alarm

    I agree with you on the max temp barrier. It's not a precise sensor, doesn't measure actual coolant temps, and gives me notice of temp creep. I have my high set at 200 and haven't hit it yet. I'm not sure what my temps were while overheating b/c I didn't have this unit at the time.I'm sure...

    Coolant temp alarm

    My 23-year-old Spyder went through a rough patch where coolant hoses failed quite regularly. While looking for a warning unit that was inexpensive but would still fit somewhere useful, I found an overheating controller that gives early warning (audible alarm) when coolant temps reach a...

    2G Loosing coolant

    SAE 30R7 - this is the hose that goes under the intake into the turbo. Got it from an Irish-named parts store.

    2G Loosing coolant

    UPDATE #2: After procuring a coolant pressure tester, there was a slit in the hose going to the turbo. Thanks JK for your tool advice!

    2G Loosing coolant

    Any recommendations on a worthwhile kit? With my luck, I'd buy a kit that didn't have a converter for the DSM neck. Yes, I'm one of those guys.

    2G Loosing coolant

    UPDATE: The cap didn't fix the issue. I took the GST our for a short run of 100+ MPH and the reservoir is empty. There is fluid all over the garage floor at retry. The overflow tube is dry, the radiator connections are dry, but I can't figure out where the massive leak is coming from. Any ideas...

    2G Loosing coolant

    Replace the cap and I now keep fluid in the reservoir. Thanks Luv2rallye for pegging this one right away!!!Thanks everyone else for mentioning other things to check!

    2G Loosing coolant

    I'm not a coolant expert and I'm posting here for some desperate help. My 97 GST is presumably loosing coolant through the overflow tube on the reservoir. I say that because I'm seeing coolant on the garage floor from the tube. The oil looks good so there isn't a problem there. I can top off the...

    2G Annoying belt squealing

    I too have the same problem at low RPMs too. New, tight (Gator) belts don't seem to make any difference. Once I get moving, squealing stops. It appears to be worse on cooler mornings. Needless to say, it's quit embarrassing.

    2G Changed the master clutch cylinder... didn't expect this

    Thanks for the link!! I absolutely stay away from the junk parts from the chain auto part stores. I'm not trying to act/be snooty. I used to work for one of them and the lifetime warranty sounds good in theory, but watching customers repeatedly taking a part off to exchange it gets rather...

    2G Changed the master clutch cylinder... didn't expect this

    Since I'm replacing stuff, I'm going to add the SS line. Any recommendations where to get one? It's been a while since I've bought good aftermarket parts for my DSM. Big thanks.
