   RW> I havn't had a need for it either, but this leak appeared out of nowhere   
   RW> when I began to move the Z around.   
      
   Leaks drive me crazy.  That is why I could never be a plumber.  Speaking of   
   leaks, I think the Durango has a slow oil leak in the real seal area.  It is   
   always tough to tell exactly where I leak is and usually just as difficult to   
   fix.     
      
   Provided it stays a slow leak, I'm not that concerned about it.   
      
   RW> Lucky you don't live in Texas. Its always too hot to ride, except for an   
   RW> early morning or late evening cruise. South central Texas, unlike the   
   RW> east   
   RW> coast and upper midwest, cools to 70+ at night and warms up to the day's   
   RW> high around 5pm, then begins another cool down as the sun sets. If it was   
      
   We have gone from hot and dry to hot and humid over here.  It feels like a   
   sauna outside right now.     
      
   RW> I had DirecTV out here yesterday, installing a new sat system. The   
   RW> 'helper' tech got the job of attaching all coax to the dish that the   
   RW> 'senior' installer put up the roof, then he got the 'attic' job of   
   RW> running   
   RW> coax. I didn't envy that youngster that job one iota. Been there too many   
   RW> times.   
      
   Not fun.  Especially in the daytime when it is really hot up there.     
      
   RW> Without a good roof vent system, it gets hotter than that. Our house has   
   RW> a   
   RW> peak-vent that runs the entire length of the house and that helped some,   
   RW> but I'd venture to say that it still gets upwards of 150 up there.   
      
   We have one of those roof vents that runs over the majority of the house and   
   also an attic fan, but it is still super hot up there.  The big advantage   
   seems to be that these things allow the heat to escape in the evening hours   
   much easier.
