Anxious to hear the results...
Truck had a 180 degree thermostat. I added the napa 195 degree super stat a few minutes ago. The 180 would get to a peak temp of 195. The 195 gets to a peak temp of 200. Guess the wax filiment was off on the 180. Glad i didnt waste money on some high temp coolant.
im goin max, so you wont be the only southie in attendance
I think you are too far north in texas to be a southie. If you cant get to shoreline in under 2 hours doing the speed limit your a central texan lol.

I grew up 30 minutes north of Houston. That fits into your two hour rule!

Ok X South Texas Guy!
I put Westoms 5x.014 in today. Looks like number one injector I pulled out has had better days.
Check out the new injector tool. Got it off of EBAY, highly recomended.
Looks like truck has 131 DVS in it.
Looks like #1 injector copper washer seal failed and was leaking combustion gasses up around the injector. Sometimes a really bad crack in the head can cause this but 95% of the time I see this, it's a failed copper washer and usually a thin one. The stock 0.060" thick washers seem to seal better than the thin ones.
