Got the new trans cooler installed, and checked everything over. We took it out to URE to run a few hot laps today. Got there about 3pm and it was pretty hot out. The engine temp stayed right where it should. The trans temp took a while to get up to operating range, and when it did, it never went above 180!!!
The front end sits higher now- kind of like a pre-runner stance. The Bronco fared very well over the water bars- even the ones we managed to catch air over. It was very fun. The old rig felt right at home there. The only problem we encountered was a flat tire. We really need to get some good tires!!! They take some major abuse.
By the time we left, the air temp had cooled off nicely. The sky was blue and it was a beautiful day to be out there. We did run Dutch John. It is in good shape. Picked up a bunch of trash and had a good time! Can't wait to get back out there!!!
No pics of riding out there, but this is what she looks like now- spare tire on and all... This coming week I have a lot of little things to do, as well as to run through every bolt and nut, making sure nothing is loose or out of place. Gotta find some tires, too......
