I'm trying to hang onto my car,Herb,if I can. It's been sitting in my shop for almost two months because my broken ribs made it too painful to drive. All the air had slowly bled out of the Air Ride system and the car was sitting all the way down on its stops. When I went to start it yesterday,the onboard compressor wouldn't turn on and fill the system. Kinda hard to drive it that way. <grin> So,I had to troubleshoot the problem and all it was was a hot wire had come undone.  Long story short,I'm not going to give the car away and want to upgrade its suspension again. Sure want to get my Arizen seats installed,too. My marriage is marginally better,too. Just can't afford $100K for a divorce,right now.

How hot is it getting now? I'm running basically the same stuff except for a Vintage Air Frontrunner serpentine set-up and with a 160 degree thermostat,mine almost runs too cool. Need to install a 195 thermo before Winter.
