Indeed, and this video wasnt exactly scientific. There is no telling what was done to that cummins that passed him. Shoot, could have had twins, a chip, water meth .. who knows? Or maybe it was just running rediculous egts.

It's a second radiator inline with the first, that is mounted in between the frame rails up front. Since it's away from the stack, it get's fresh air at all times. In a simple compairison, on my normal route, normal weight...etc, I saw 235* via databuss (guage on the dash is a lier too) before adding the V2, now tops I see 207*, then the electric fan on the v2 will kick on and bring the temps down even lower. The clutch fan very rarely activates anymore, only on some good climbs, then it shuts down quickly afterwards.

#1, he was full throttle to try and just keep the speed limit and keep up with the Dodge.
#2, he did catch up with the Dodge later, it was driven by an old couple, bone stock as the day it was new.
#3, you can call him a moroon all you want, that video got him $30,000 from GM and he kept the truck. Now the truck is a test mule for his products he sells. Can't bitch about a free truck.....

I find it comical that those who dont own an LLY and havent had the misfortune of trying to pull a 13K load with it suddenly are experts on Christopher's proof of the trucks issue and the solution he came up with. Guess he'll just keep laughin to the bank as more and more people buy his kit. The free truck and $30K was kinda nice too.
