    er, well, a bit too late for that lol At least I can monitor it constantly without my phone, I guess

    Wack. Maybe it is a van thing. I'm not terribly concerned about it because we are talking about a small block Chevy V8. I may be mildly concerned by the trans but I do not worry about the 350 at all. Besides the optional "oil seepage" feature, perhaps.

    Wait is the coolant temp gauge supposed to be below 210??? I was under the impression that my motor just ran cool for some reason. I think it runs around to what the stock thermostat is, in that case. Am used to my Mercury's gauge being in the middle when at normal temperature. Man, I am...

    The instructions in my case said you could do on the side or have them facing down.

    Dangit. Guess I'll see when the time comes. There is always room for improvement I suppose.

    That's what I wanted to do too. Luckily I had the foresight to buy some workshop manuals so finding the wire that allowed the gauge backlight to dim with the rest of the dash was cake for me.

    I wish it was available through and OBDII scanner, but my bluetooth one that hooks up to my phone didn't have any option close to it. That being said, doing a clean install of a gauge like I did took just a few hours of my time.

    This is what I did. The cooler I have is technically overkill for my application but since I was bypassing the stock one I went one size up. The Hayden 679's radiator is 11x11 inches, which is pretty beefy imo

    There is a bit of concern regarding the lack of transmission heating ability given I had bypassed the saddle cooler entirely. That being said, I live in Georgia where it is very hot a good portion of the year, and even then, I drive this thing like a granny in general but especially when it is...

    I may or may not really mess with the 60e. Chances are once it blows up on me I plan on swapping a 4l80e in regardless, but just wanted the thing to last longer with the cooler on it, given it was only 50 bucks and a few hours of my time.

    I'll have to add the steeper rear end to the list when I finally get the motivation to get off my butt and go to a pick n pull. I take it I'll need to tune my ECU if I do get 4.56 gears in this thing?

    Is there any reason you'd rather go with the 11 blade fan over an electric fan conversion? I was thinking about just converting it over to an electric fan system, although the vans have a lot less space under the hood for stuff. Then again, doing the 11 blade fan + severe duty clutch is cheaper...

    That is entirely possible too. I would like to get 4.10s one way or another, and in limited slip flavor if that is applicable. Oh, and fuel economy is not a concern regardless. I get 10 MPG no matter what, and I doubt a steeper rear end would change much lol

    The engine coolant temp gauge always runs between the first mark and the 210 degree mark, and sometimes moves up to the 210 degree mark. I think it may be due for a new thermostat when I get the Dexcool flushed out.

    Hi friends, after a 2 hour round trip to the Georgia Summit Racing warehouse (With ABBA songs on loop for good luck) and some trips to and from the local auto parts store I have installed the Hayden 679 transmission fluid cooler kit in my van (shoutout to my old man for another pair of hands). I...
