hey guys. i messed with my truck last nite & figured a way to lower the coolant temp. i put in a ss speed grill & noticed they (dc) block off half of the inlet air in the grill itself with plastic panels. on of them is to direct air to the airbox, but they both are to keep air channled to the radiator do it dosent go around it. the proble with the way they did it it cuts down on the available airflow to the radiator. i removed those and i am using abs to block the openings to the left and right of the radiator, so that way ALL of the air enters the grill & then is directed to the radiator & i am molding the left piece to form a housing for a cold air induction system. pics will be soon. since i have done this my coolant shows about a 10-15 degree drop! also soon i will be replacing the coolant with Engine Ice coolant. we put it in our race bikes & it works wonders, not to mention it is biodegradable & perfect for aluminum.
this is a simple fix & works great. i will have pics tonite!-boomer
