Radiator cooler lines

[simonsayz1]

Ahead of you already, added Hayden 677 trans cooler when I installed radiator.....I'm wondering if the previous owner installed a higher temp thermostat, The needle does move down as thermostat opens. We got the VX for cheap (basket case) and we have noticed a few things were "Mickey Moused" together. We're all to familiar with the woes of the VX, this is our second, gives my son and I something to do

[Mile High VX]

Building those memories...I did the same with my boys. Using the VX as the canvas you'll never run out of things to do...LOL.

Not sure why they would do that...is it from a cold weather state?

IIRC it has always been in a cold weather state. The only reason I think it's a hotter thermostat is the impression I got from the previous owner. I wouldn't put it past him to rummage through his garage and pick up a thermostat and say "we'll make this one work"

I always tell my son it's "fun" to work on the VX. ....I think he suspects the definition of fun is frustration
