Chrome tow hooks are in! Think it’s just the right about of chrome to break up all the black!

It looks like a pissed off duck to me.

Hooks are way beefier then the old ones
Next on the to do list is to rotate my tires polish these wheels and try to trace out a oil leak…
Possibly oil pan gasket
I know the oil filter housing gasket or whatever it is called
Rear main has always leaked but I’m not messing with that
Hopefully that’ll be it if the housing gasket and oil pan don’t slow it down/stop it I’ll just add a quart between Oil changes

You think they would be strong enough for transmission line pressure? Maybe doubled up? Just curios.

So far no leak I drove it 3 hr to Wilmington another 3.5 hr to vanceboro and going back home today 1.5-2 hr straight one way
Last tour on my way home the temp got up around 207* now with the cooler I haven’t seen it get over 165*

Currently trying to find a AN fitting transmission line kit so swap out the hose and clamps for a peace of mind down the road.

In my white truck (same setup) it took its 210-215* temp down to 165-175*

She’s not been under 70 since I left Hatteras heading home with a quickness
So far so good with the cooler installed it’s helped a lot

if you are using the trucool then these are the adapters and lines you need 2 of each
BTW the an lines referenced below hold like 1200 psi far and beyond external trans line pressure
