But the trans is shot anyways.
Nope one big fan with mechanical stock clutch. Even pulling in the heat of the desert I have not seen the temp go above 212 in the truck on the scanner. Maybe a difference in the radiator?
Sounds about the same.. The highest it goes now is one line above 210 whatever that is. Typically between 210 and two lines below. I think the enclosed space of the van chassis doesn't help.
I would imagine that is the difference, lots of room for airflow in the truck.
