kay so last monday i took my 91 out to the desert did some hill climbing and such but on the way back we found a little mud hole so after checking it out i promptly bombed through it i made it through no problem and covered the ole' girl in mud (including the engine compartment) . now my dilemma is that ever since then i've been running bout 10-15 degrees cooler than normal. does anyone know why this is, thanks.

My guess would be now that it is covered in mud, it is cooler to hide it's heat signature from the Predetor Aliens.

Other than that, no clue.

Maybe your rad was plugged to start with and bombing through the mud and water blasted it clear?
