Well, I hope this works! however, I'm not getting my hopes to high :), I'll
stop by Home Depot on the way home from work and get some insulation. Then
we'll see what happens, I still want those DC engineers who are making 6
figures to use there own head and fix this thing!

<Matt? since you already have the hole drilled? Who knows,

<future performance parts for the 4.7.....hehe, yeah right.
