Apparently fedex determined I exist today, but the part that got delivered wasn't the right one.

 

Fed Ex has too many processes, each with a different driver. FedEx Home, or Ground, or regular. The UPS and USPS people are always the same drivers, at least to my house, so there is consistency.

 

Got hired to be a property manager today, also building my auto business more. WHEW,

 

What kind of auto business?

 

Custom, rebuild, and maintenance. I have a good customer base, but they town I live in, most have gone away for summer. So this income, and the small income from the business right now will set me off good.

 

Yay, I think I finally have my Durango dialed in! I had an above average trans rebuild done 18 months ago, kevlar bands and fancy TC and such, then a few months ago I added a full Magnaflow exhaust with larger diameter pipe and nice flow cat.

Over the weekend I towed my 6,000 lb Jeep and trailer a hundred miles away and back. Coming back at 4PM it was 98° on the D's overhead console and the A/C was keeping me comfy. The motor temp stayed nice, needle straight up, and the trans temp gauge I had added read 190° while I was doing what seemed an effortless 75 MPH. Don's happy!

 

Straight up on the needle is 210° which I would consider high, but I guess when towing that's not so bad.

 

Might want to drop to a 180 T-stat High Flow, worked great on my truck.

 

I was thinking of that too. I also want to measure the t-stat housing temp with my IR gauge after a op-temp drive. It normally runs a needle thickness to the left of straight up. So no one has ill effects from a 180° t-stat?

 

Never had any ill effects, and had mine in for over 2 years now without a clutch fan in Georgia, south georgia
