    If you have added a custom tunnel to your doghouse to get more air to the engine, or for a place to put your gauges and drinks, please post pictures or tell me where I can find past posts with pictures..

    Mo, nice piece of work! That looks like it's always been there, very clean and blends right in. What a Face

    What to do.. If you put any holes for cup holders, shifters or anything in the tunnel make sure they are sealed off best you can to the cab. A lot of warm or cold air can blow in thru pretty small openings. Something you can do.. is make a fresh air vent for the passenger side. Being a 2nd gen you are pretty close to having what you may need for air flow to the rad anyway but a little more sure couldn't hurt.

    With my 350/200r4 combo I haven't had any cooling problems...of course I got that big Lincoln electric fan that moves air like mad.
