Well, every day is a schoolday! Strange setup, why does work in series rather than just using both 12vs in parallel? I would have assumed that double the cranking current capacity would be just as good as double the voltage?

EGR cooler?

Transmission oil warmer in the engine radiator split letting engine coolant into the Transmission

Rear compartment heater connector pipe leaking coolant under the floor and dripping onto the exhaust where it is immediately evaporated?

The classic, the famous, the beloved... heater matrix. Take the Red Coolant, or the Blue Coolant...
