Dave,
Thanks alot. Off the top of your head, have you noticed if the metal
tube/pipe which comes with the QuickD Ram kit gets warm/hot? I like the
'warmth' resistant properties the PVC pipe provides and seems the shield the
heat coming the the engine bay from heating up the cool air traveling down
the inside of the plastic pipe. If I do indeed go ahead and get the metal
tube, I think I am going to send it off to Jet Hot or some other ceramic
coating company, to attempt to create the 'warmth' resistant properties the
plastic sewer pipe has. I think I was told it would only cost $30 max to
have the metal pipe coated inside and out. I really dont have to worry about
overheating, as my truck has NEVER come anywhere close, plus I still have
the stock clutch style fan; but the heat shield is still a great idea.
Thanks again Dave.
P.S........I still want your Saris Load Bars and rack........that is
definately my next purchase.
