Needs JB Weld

Ordering the gallon tube of it.

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.... :icon14:

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

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.:tup::tup::tup:

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... :tup::tup:

:tup:

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 :driving:

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. :yum:

Your oil temps are where they should be.

Thanks Spooler. :tup:

On the trip up, they'd get over 230 and take a long time to come down. Now when they climb, they come down a lot faster. :tup:


I should have done this years ago.....:ugh2:

I tell you what... pulling that bumper for the first time kinda sketched me out...:icon14:

I'm glad I had some expert help and advice around. :tup:


I told my fiancee, if it wasn't for the DRL connections, I could pull the bumper myself now... I think I have a couple of milk crates I can set it on while I disconnect the DRLs. I'm thinking a Super Hella horn is in my future... :tup:

Taking that thing off becomes a 5 minute job after a couple times. :tup:

You could probably splice in some extra wire and increase the length so it can still be an easy one person job. That's pretty much what I did with my Blinder "parking assist"

I'm thinking some Z1 CAI's are in your future... I just happen to have a set lying around...

Especially if you leave the bolts loose like on your shifter. Oh wait, that wasn't your's, it was Lein's.

Aren't Admin's better? :stirthepot:

Not quite. However, I do like like my ever evolving tags. Thank you, and the rest of your friends.:tup:
