New forum looks great...Got my CB, Radio, XM all installed in the last couple days...can't wait for the M&G.
Also over the weekend got my Ron Davis rad. keeping my temps more in the 190 range instead of 200-210, thought I would get better temps but...Front pass. side u-joint replaced. Windsheild wipers and motor next...still debating on what kinda horn to go with, I thinking a trian horn would be suffecient. Thats all for now.
Waiting to build or BUY another legend! :thefinger:

Still having temps in the 200-210 range  cratchhe: after talking with my buddy and Chuck we decided to add a new aftermarket temp gauge that I will install today. upergrin:
Hopefully have an update this afternoon :xyxthumbs:

I will say, I'm a little disapointed to see the expensive radiator doesn't have a shroud that completely covers the radiator from side to side. It's beautiful for sure...but not the most effective. I think you will be fine once you install the new gauges,Chuck
BTW, great pics John

Sounds like my old temperature problems I mentioned before. One thing after another with the cooling system. Just takes that 1 piece to make it right. Unfortunately, finding that piece tends to get expensive. Let us know what happens.

So it was the gauge. That is sweet!!! Was the bad one just old or something? Talk about a cheap fix. Congrats. Now time to go tear it up. upergrin:
