    +1 on that homemade tool. I even tried a 19mm for an end-wrench. Not nearly as convenient. New gasket and you never have to worry about over tightening - unless you're Godzilla.

    After setting for so long, the sealing in the clutches has probably been lost because of scoring, rust, etc. If it was started dry the seals may have broken. There is a possibility that the sealing...

    The source of power for the fan circuit is one of the weak spots (it comes from the gang-connection behind the backboard of the package tray). In addition, the single low amperage OEM relay is also...

    When the AC is turned on my compressor cycles fine but the fans do not cycle. The fan circuit stays cooler that way. I also built a fan shutdown sequencer so as not to stop both fans together and...

    There is NO contact information on their web site(s) - except a couple of phone numbers. I wouldn't risk any money on them. The facebook page has a couple of old negative comments, too.

    I would suggest you start with a systematic process. Probably the best process I could recommend is using the diagnostic charts at the back of the Technical Manual (staring at page 122 in mine).

    Since you said you were doing "aggressive" driving I assume that means pushing the throttle all the way down, etc. Your brief description sounds like the "kick-down" switch is activating when you go...

    I believe the easiest would be to go down to a bolt on the fuel tank retainer/cover. One of those would have sufficient contact to the frame for the grounding.
