• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hey guys, the coolant resevoir cap has a hole in it, maybe to act like a vent? does it come like this? if so how do I stop coolant from dripping out when I ride. I am brand new to the Husky world. Let me know what you guys think. thanks
 
Yes, if your rads get over the boiling temp (depends on % of coolant and water you use, about 250F) the pressure will vent past the cap and into the reservoir, and a fine mist of steam will come out the little hole and spray your boot.

I do not run any coolant in my reservoir at all, I use it only for overflow/overheating. I run just enough coolant to cover the fins when looking in the cap hole.
