    anyone got a clue? thought about buying a tee pipe and just using RTV to hold the probe in place. would it hold up against the pressure and temp of coolant?

I was in NM for my brothers graduation. with full AC on max, and subs cranked up it idles right around 13.5 i think, I had a short in my off road lights so I need to rewire it all up again but i think with them all on I think it will drop to around 13.0, once I get it all working ill let yall know.

    ya dude, I used some 4ga wire cuz thats what I had. go 0ga and you will never have any more voltage drops. sounds over kill but ull probably wont notice a difference when you crank up the AC on a hot day.
