Hmmmm...dual 12's only cover 70% of the radiator....now here's a question to
ask the engineer:
Why is it that my 16" single keeps the truck no higher than 195 (measured
with a coolant thermometer). Oh yeah...add one bottle of Pro-Blend Racing
Formula to the crankcase. (This stuff actually works as claimed!)
Granted, it's only a V6, but this is with the A/C ON during the last week of
90 degree weather...in the stop and go commute as well.
Respectively,
