thanks for the tip man, i never even thought of taking them to a locksmith, im in santa cruz right now, and found a guy thats going to take a look at them tomorrow,i have had my eyes on junk yards for weeks. currently i have lock box locks rigged in there..they do the job..but not very well, as for the running hot.. the rad. has been rebuilt, all new hoses, water pump,intake gasket, new exhaust,185 thermostat, everything flows great, sucks hot air great, after i started running 30/70 coolant and put on 2 pusher fans, i haven't overheated..i put the 7 lb cap back on cause the 13 didnt help me out with a cooler temp, still running between 200 and 220 but seems to be running great and its only went over 220 a couple times in the heat climbing a big pass..so i just slow down to 35mpg kick on the heater and all is well.. we are at 5975 lbs right now so i figure that is part of it, we will be hitting the big sur area in a few days so, i plan on driving at night and early morns if she starts running hotter than 220
