Now, this is my kinda guy.. I'm sorry for offending any purists. But this is the only vehicle in the people's republic of California, that can be a clean slate. No gov laws, no smog, low reg fees.

Why is it so hard? Or maybe I'm retarded? Can't seem to upload my pics of upgrades?

1009 cooling upgrades from 35 years ago to now. Hi rsh, Now that's a helpful tip

Oops for tranny and separate one for oil cooling I mean. The rad is aluminum with 2 mitsimoto lifetime warranty 16 in 2800 cfm each and a adjustable control.

I used a tru- cool cooler, for rad and oil, comes with low temp by pass, and threaded fittings for a clean install. Also lifetime warranty, unlike the radiator.

Oh almost forgot, I found a diesel cleaner better than sea foam, I been using sea foam for many years, in my small engines, thru boat motors and so on. But this one pics butt. It's called hot shots secrete diesel extreme. Again I don't know how to upload pics, but **** did it make a difference.

Thanks, I will do a run thru of the fuel system. And yes she has all ways run this way. I can do 70 mph easy on flat freeway, it's the long inclines, say going to Reno from San jose, that once I start loosing momentum, I'm down to 35 mph top speed the rest of the way. ]
