Temp guage is now modified with 100 and 150 resistors.
Truck has a new blue clutch, new t-stat, new phh and fresh green coolant.
On the highway the guage sits between the cold line and horizontal and really hasn't moved up much at all. Based on what I have read I would say that equates to 180-190 degrees.
While driving seven miles down the beach, some deep sand mostly fairly well packed in 95 temps, the guage stayed below horizontal the entire time.
This week I will be driving into Arkansas with a loaded truck and will have a chance to see how she does in hills
Another big thanks goes out to Tim for helping me with this.
