Going to be hot here tomorrow too. I am glad the AC and swamp cooler works Of course, that doesn't help if I have to go outside.

Well, several thousand dollars will buy a lot of goodies for a truck, especially if you don't have to spend any of it on a mechanic to install said goodies.

Rosewood stage 2's, S366 or 38r, and a BTS trans build . It'll be a whole new truck.

AC code single shots with 100% nozzles, custom tuning, 38R (since you're in Cali, it's the safest bet, and the easiest...it's a drop in replacement) and I prefer a John Wood built trans over a BTS.

What is a 38r? Is that a bigger turbo?

edit: Nevermind, found it on eBay. Good thing I am not getting a 99-up PSD. That thing costs as much as the truck I am buying. LOL.
