Thanks Ecky, I'll give that a try.

Another thing I've noticed is 12V still isn't charging correctly. A lot of the time when I was cruising around at lunch, my 12V (according to my SG which is not that accurate) was 11.9V. When I would get the RPMs way up (over 4k I'd say) it jumps up to 14.0V... Seems odd, and I don't want to be abusing my new 12V. Any ideas here? I think at the least I'll go over the grounds.
