Totally worth missing the conversation here. Now THAT is priceless.
That is great news Jay, glad to hear everyone is doing better my friend!

Yeah Dale, sometimes Tom gets confused like what time of the day it is, how to measure for a toolbox and don't get me started on the whole dinner/lunch thing! LOL

Afternoon all.

Glad to hear that you had a good time with your parents last night Jay.

Pretty nice out today. I just got back from the vet. We had our dog x-rayed to see if a tumor that she has has spread into her lungs or muscles. I am happy to say that it is negative. When we get back from Canada, we will have the tumor removed to make sure that it is not a problem in the future.

I am thinking about not installing the Hayden trans cooler. I spoke to a mechanic I know last night and he said that it may create too much cooling capacity in the winter and cause the fluid to not heat up enough. He said I should get a cooler with a low temp bypass in it. Now I am in search of one like that. No time like 3 days before we leave to tackle it.

What kind of temps are you seeing Lee? I am thinking that you may not even need a second cooler.

I have had a pretty busy day today so time is moving pretty nicely so far.

Hey Lee! I think I would run the extra cooler and not worry about it. If you do have trouble all you have to do is bypass the extra cooler in the winter......just a couple hose clamps and your done. Glad to hear your dog is gonna be ok!

Yeah Dave that mini is crazy! Somebody has too much time on there hands and money to burn!

Glad to hear your day is going good Jay! Mine is going pretty good too!

Thanks Dave & Troy, I trust you guys more than him.

Jay, I see about 80-100 over air temp when towing, but higher in the mountains or hills, like 100 - 130.
