The office didn't like hearing my opinion on the situation that took place over the weekend

I was asked to leave

I might take tomorrow off too. Not like it much matter, I'll be hunting other employment options when they figure out how fvcked my arm is anyway.

Car is finally back home. Gonna get under it later to investigate the bolt holding the shifter arm in place. See if it has loosened at all. Hope everyone is doing good.

Rusty · 06-22-2021, 09:22 AM

Getting our chit together to get back on the road soon.

The time change screwed with my thinking on setting the alarm.

Stopped in Platte City, MO to pickup the furball and visit a bit. I think the passenger side foot pan has permanent dents from my fiancee trying to stomp on the brakes everytime she saw brake lights 10 car lengths ahead....

Thank you to everyone that helped me install the oil cooler & hood vents.

My oil temps ran about 200, but as was explained to me, that is probably because of the plastic undershroud that doesn't allow for good cooling. So.... the next thing is a Zspeed undershroud. I have approval to buy that, along with Madwi's exhaust.

So the next trip up north, we are going to leave here a few days early. Mainly so we can check out the Presidential library in Grand Rapids and have time to put the exhaust on and still have some time to relax...

I had my 34 row oil cooler installed about a year ago. In that time I don't feel like the average oil temps stabilize much lower than about 200F which is where they were before install. I also don't have any trouble getting up to temps even in cooler weather. The main difference I see is the prevention of temps from rising too much above 200F. I used to see 240F+ during long trips in the heat or even brief spirited driving. Now during extend spirited driving temps tend to stabilize around the 225F mark

I did notice that when the outside temp dropped below 80, the indicated oil temp was about 190. We did get hung up in some stop n go traffic on the way back, and the oil temp never got above 215. I consider that a win.
