I am going to watch coolant level closely and temp with the torq app. I'll bring it by your shop on the 10th next month if that works.

What kind of coolant & trans temps do you see when it's 95-100 out?
 
What kind of coolant & trans temps do you see when it's 95-100 out?
Trans is 150-160 (180+ if towing steep grades)
Coolant 185- 200. (Mostly in the 190s range)
 
What are your temps coming from? A scan gauge?

plus a $5 app or free if you are too cheap to contribute and you have wireless gauges for every piece of data the ECU outputs.

Even more bad ass you can see CEL codes real time and clear them.

Apple must have something but this guy's app is king of the hill for quiet a while now.
 
The shocks are nice, no doubt. I'm not a salesman, so don't expect me to pimp them like Grogan has.

CT put them on for us and reported that at least one of the shocks was completely shot. Knowing that, I tend to believe any decent replacement would have made a noticeable improvement.

That said, though, the harshness is completely gone. It eats up all the imperfections in the road. Ginny is even really happy with them, and I made her pay for them...that pretty much says it all, right?
 
I don't think I could have put a shock through a tougher test than I did.

One other thing I didn't mention.

The rubber bumpstops on the shaft get used. I felt it quite a few times.

Also those of you that wheel wagons know the feeling, if you carry a dip too fast and the whole ass bucks like a mule and all your gear goes into negative G's and then slams down.

I gave mine every opportunity to do this and winced in prep for the slam and it never came.
