Default now that is a BIG heat exchanger



not that little black thing either, the one behind it

i am also geting rid of the antifreeze and running water with water wetter. probably get a bigger pump some time soon too. i need some type of ducting to the radiator, something to make it harder for the under hood heat to just roll under the truck and back into the radiator. i think the truck had something on there at one time but i dont know what happend to it.

i did some measuring under the hood and there is room for an intercooler that is 3times the size of the one i have in there now. wish i had some money, i would order that thing up and get it instaled.

Your sig says you have some goodies on order??? When do you expect to have them (motor and trans), and I guess that explains the current low cash flow!

I see you are going with a Vigilanti converter now. I know you did your homework to choose it over a Yank so what are the "better" features?

Its a HD T'case, but the axles are stock. I cant believe they havent broke yet. I broke my stock G80 with less than half the power he has.

Scream, when are you going to Gainesville for some better times? I know that truck has 12s in it.
