    I had a real bad whine. Then I added some of this and it's been working great ever since. Just my experience that I had with it.

    Would valvaline dex/merc work? Bottle states works with dex 2 and 3.

    Added this to my truck a few days ago. Found it online from Advance Auto with coupon code for $115. Havent ran the cable in its permanent spot but will do soon. So far I have liked the gauge and has made me more conscious about fuel economy.

    TXD: 68 6A F1 01 B4
    RXF: 04 41 05 B4 00 00
    RXD: 28 08

    For some reason I feel like I remember reading that you tap into where the heater control valve is, might want to confirm that tho. Heater control valve is the little black thing mounted on the center of back wall in engine bay. I'll take a pic of it tmrw.

    Okay.. It's in the engine bay. On the fire wall passenger side. If you look along the back you'll see the valve for it with a hose from the engine block and another with the valve on it. I'll see if I have a photo..


    Very top right..sorta. Behind the intake manifold on the firewall
