Default Latest Gadget Additions

I can't help myself....I'm a gadget nut, and I'm always looking for new improvements to my H3. I just added a windshield washer fluid 'Low Fluid' warning light. I had an extra holding tank sensor from my boat and adapted it to the reservoir. Lights up an LED on the I.P. when fluid has 32oz. left. Also added a washer fluid heater system to melt ice/snow on windshield, and unfreeze frozen wiper blades. This system was used by GM in high end vehicles including the H2. There was a recall several years ago on these, and the company went belly up, but they have been extensively redeveloped, and all the bugs are out. Also, for all the skeptics, the hot water won't 'crack' a cold windshield. Plenty of cold chamber testing was conducted.

Sometimes you feel like a nut...., sometimes you .... still do?

Crazy, but I like it!

I like the heater, where did you get it?

In my old, and I mean really old (80's) Isuzu trooper I used copper line and spliced into the WW fluid line and wrapped the copper around the header and used that to heat the fluid. Worked very well.
