    That's a good work around, other than the sun being gone at night not much changes here, the overnight low yesterday was 95

    @Blackdawg any idea if I can use 2nd gen camburg bushings for my UCA's? My buddy has a set laying in his garage. They look like different part numbers but I thought I would ask.

    My coolant temp hit 205° today. I've never seen my truck get hotter than 195° before, it usually stays at 188°-192°. If this crazy heat keeps up I think I'm gonna throw my lower temp tstat back in to see what happens.

    Yep, 205° was with the AC on of course & going up the hill to get home. I pretty much never turn off my AC, I like to be an eskimo, I don't do well with heat. I've never seen my truck get into the 200s before until today.
