20 degrees? I think that's exaggerated a bit. That's a lot of change for an engine's coolant temperature. Update us on your change when you test it out I'm interested if it's true since my A/C doesn't work anyways. I don't have any cooling issues though...

Worked at getting my rock sliders mocked in before paint. Unleashed an absurd amount of obscenitys at it.

Removed the 2nd leaf under my main from the Alcan packs because they were still way to stiff..now its at 4 leafs and much much better!!! Then I installed my shackle relocation brackets and re-attached the rear bumper. Now that I got the SRB's in I can remove the 6* shims and that should put me spot on...still need longer drive shaft though. Looks like I'll be hitting up the Salvage Yard
