Nice read over a cup & 1/2 of coffee. Y'all would be great Goin fishing and listening to talk shop over the camp fire. Or at the local dinner anytime. I'll put my daughter's build in the construction thread once the client donations come in, lol.- Sgt Gus

Perfect pro and cons, or just simple good info. Lol, yes I don't like temp getting to 210° Interesting note, I see this truck has a small metal electric fan on front side, infront of AC condenser.
