Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

I had been experiencing a dead battery on new SRT6 that I just got after the car sat for a week. Battery appeared to be 8 years old and tested good at Advanced Auto but figured it was time to change. Had a new Bosch AGM Platinum series installed and new battery dead in a week. Bought a multimeter and determined there was a 120 mA drain when parked/computer at sleep. Started pulling fuses....second fuse I pulled dropped to 20-30 mA. Apparently stock radio w nav was drawing current. I pulled radio and re-tested, no parasitic draw. Fortunately, I had purchased a new Kenwood marine radio and am I'm it (along with bass blockers and new Infinity midrange woofers) installed next week and will retest.

I also used 0000 steel wool to clean inside of exhaust tips. Wow...Paul D, that's a lot of rubbing. I guess it's paint in addition to the exhaust deposits. I'm going to try some paint stripper on the SSB before the steel wool.
