    Good. But those are two different things. Sometimes fluid loss ONLY occurs when going down the road.

    That probably eliminates the pressure cap. But there still is the thermostat and pump.

    Hype ??

    I like mine but don't "love" it......and probably never will.

    Of course, any given owner might be either side of the "average" a bit.

    It is still in the tank.
    ALL gas gauges include a "hidden reserve" to try and make up for the "idiot factor".
    Sometimes even that doesn't work.

    Those Spyder owners who ARE using it would find that revelation rather amazing.

    I bet that you have no actual evidence to back up that statement.

    You got the right answers.
    Just one slight addition: The mirror shell mounts have some flex to them.
    It works best for me to hold onto the shell with your fingers while pushing with your thumbs.

    Your thought is wrong.
    Some repairs, like replacement of the odometer mechanism, will effectively reset it to 0......and there is no easy mechanism provided to "update" it to the old number.

    There is no good reason NOT to connect it and do a quick code scan.

    Are there any other dealers nearby ??
