but it was good for plastics and metal.
Im off to the store to get something else.. Probably jb weld.

well Im actually using JB QUICK as JB weld isn't for plastics.
I can't speak of the grill as the paint is still drying,
But I can say, without the grill the temperature difference is HUGE..
Temperature used to range between 200-218 with 206-215 being average while driving
Termperature without any grill ranges between 188-200 with 193 being average while driving.. I had no idea the stock grill sucked THAT much

I figured little to no difference.

I just took another drive, sitting parked it got up to 218, WITH A/C ON but when driving it ALWAYS drops to 193 with A/C ON, and it NEVER got below 200 while driving with the grill, it was often 206-215 while cruising on interstate.
So while yes I have a cooling issue, but I believe the the grill will make a difference.

Tweak & Spence have me all whacked about expanded metal for my grille now.
At risk of full-on hijack, I've got old work racks from my work truck, (300# rating) gutter mount.
They fit beautifully on my DI,aren't silly heavy, I'm considering (2) of those $60 rear hitch cargo shelves to floor an easy-on roof rack (It clears my sunroofs by 1/2")
luck,greg
