Hey bro. I installed it today man you wont be able to hear it from 1 meter away. The power is too low i tried the other outlets they give high power but it keeps beeping. Anyways i took it out.. :/ Kinda got dissapointed but hey its only $5 xD

Well shoot.... What about wiring a relay in so there is more voltage going to it

How do you do that? Could you give me an idea?

you will need a non switched 12v constant, ground, and switched 12 v. hook all those to the relay (can be found at autozone) and run the 12v output from the relay to the beeper. it allows for a stronger 12v signal to be sent to the accessory. its a really easy hook up hardest part is going to be finding the wires to tap into that fit the bill

Yesterday:

> brake fluid flush including clutch - straight forward, no issues, done annually.
> coolant flush - once the radiator and block were emptied, the lower plug was put back in with the block plug still out. Following, we flushed the entire system by stuffing a rag along with a garden hose into the expansion tank opening forcing water to exit only the block port. We ran the hose until outflow was clear water only. It was amazing to see how much more old coolant came out of the block. We then opened the lower plug for a second system draining. The method did suggest a gravity drain does not remove all the old coolant. We are also considering getting an old expansion tank cap, fitting it with an air barb, and blowing pressure modulated air through the system following the usual gravity drain. Again, we would re-fit the lower plug and force any remaining contents to exit the block opening. Or, we can use both water and air, one to follow the other. Methods in progress.....

Magic Eraser. I had heard it worked but never tried it. It provides amazing results. The sponge acts like a superfine sandpaper, that I believe removed all old wax, PC products, BlackWow, Forever Black, and environmentals.

Good idea! For whatever reason, when I did my cooling system, I didn't get all the coolant drained. Next time I will try the hose in the expansion tank trick. I have an old cap, might try fitting a garden hose fitting to it somehow to get some more pressure with the flush. Should work good either way though.
