la bala Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 think you have 2 choices 73deg's and 82deg's ?? I remember now why i didnt bother, it was winter time when i changed the rad, and i was pleased with the few degrees of extra cab heat. As i drive around summer and winter with no drivers side window, the few degrees of extra heat is very nice and almost keeps the cab above freezing.
