Thanks guys. SilverBullet I think I will take your advice and just replace it, I had already read the cleaning how-to on the Planet and it looked a little too advanced for my taste. I'm with you, I'd rather just replace it and (hopefully) not have to worry with it again.

So do you have a recommended setting? My concern is I'd rather NOT have to take the skid plates off and put them back on more than once if possible. Plus I really would rather have a mechanic install it, so obviously I don't want to keep going back in for adjustments (though they're nice guys and would probably do it for free - unless the skidplates have to go on/off each time). Surely the dials on the Interceptor are marked in someway, 1-10, 10/20/30%, etc?

And yes your analogies are weird but strangely they do make sense.
