'clink' uh-oh...

My Dad could find pipelines or buried pipe.. must have skipped a generation, because the first time I find pipe is usually when the backhoe makes that 'clink' sound.

I think it's a 99 ... the OBDII should relearn, but I've seen the need to do that on more than one occasion. If the new PMD has no resistor at all, it can cause issues
