I think having the radiator with the trans line cooler makes everything run hotter. I had the auxiliary cooler for the trans and my engine never reached those kinds of temps.

I dont have any kind of climb that long over here, so just speculation on my part as I really have nothing to compare it too.

 

And I'm certainly not being critical... like you, just stating my experience, when a top hose came off... I'm on stock heads, and was concerned about cracking them when the light came on (they didn't, or haven't yet).
No one could say what temp the light is supposed to come on at, but I only saw ~230°F on the gauge... I have a 180°F Stant.

I now have an all ali radiator, with dual TCP e-fans, and a flex-a-lite controller... I can't get it over 190°F, but I don't drive in conditions like you do... and I have a manual txmn, so aren't adding extra heat to the system.

 

^nice share session Spillage. I think that is valuable for people to compare to their usage and conditions.

 

I didn't forget...pics to come.

 

Here you go Wildman

 

I picked up one of those off the side of the interstate yesterday!

 

^Hey, they are good money!! Great score.

 

She is satisfied, so that's all that matters.




Pass door had some damage from front end hit, so it takes a little tweak to open/close.




Will repaint doors later after some use. I have soft window inserts in work, similar to what Spillage shared some time ago. Plus, gonna work the rear doors.

 

Hats off to your obvious skills. Nice thread! I haven't seen all 90 pages but by the looks of what I have seen it would be a fun couple weeks when I do.

That ham band part delivery service your using sounds perfect.

That front bumper is bitchen. Is it your design?

Rock it!

 

Where you been Ugly1!! Been some time eh? Thanks for the kind words, but I know where the goofs are. lol

Indeed parts service is of no complaint at all. haha

My front bumper is my design. Been thinking of losing that lower brow lately though. Like soften it up, but other than that no issues in particular.
