That's when I back off the throttle. Hence I'm starting an oil cooler project. I am going to try and incorporate the cooler (http://tinyurl.com/566qs3) into the rear cover of the pickup bed. I am thinking of hinging the cover and having it open a few degrees so air is drawn through the cooler by the pressure differential in the bed. Stay tuned. Ken Lewis http://neksiwel.20m.com/
