I don't think you need it, but it wouldn't hurt I guess. Just running a premium fluid knock the temps way down. I've checked the stick while towing on the e-way and in heavy traffic. The stick is always luke warm. Yea, that's my temp gauge lol. Running factory fluid, you could burn your freakin fingers off toughing that thing lol.

Don't you already have a cooler ? The factory cooler?

Like around 2300. I think there fine for dd.
I'm really glad i went with 4.88's bc i would've been wanting to regear again and once is enough.
It pulls so much harder, i can't wait til i'm able to do a swap.

Did they have the mud pit open when you went? - Go wash off in Lake Michigan lol. Yea we would have a blast up there.

We camped right across the street from the Arcade, - if it's still there ? It's been awhile since I went.
