    So how much difference can a few shims that are thicker/thinner than the rest make?

    Anyone have a connect at Evil Offroad? Ordered a 3rd brake light from them like 2 or 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything from them after multiple emails.

    Welp. Spal fan on my rad took a shit. Explains why I’ve been warmer than normal.

    Holley issues haven’t come back yet. And I guess, I’m not sure. Kinda waiting to hear what @Dm93 thinks.

    Fan is okay. Had a ground that disintegrated enough that the continuity test passed but no enough that current could go through.

    Picked up a used twice JD2 bender with a 180° 1.75 die for 500$ from buddy in the neighborhood.

    Came with a stand that can be used in a hitch and a tube notcher.

    Die alone is worth 400$.

    Going to pick up a 1.5 die, and a swag air/hydro kit and start making some shit

    Is the fan controlled via Holley? If so it’s very possible the fan could have been creating some havoc while it was failing.

    Depending on how your shroud and ducting is setup, if the fan has to work even a little too hard they aren’t long for the world. My bet would be an airflow issue. SPAL’s don’t typically fail for no reason.
