I'm just happy and amazed how much a difference changing the water pump/fan clutch can make.

From my OBDII Scanner it shows an decrease from 39-41% stopped at idle to 29% load. Acceleration is much better too.

Wrong, guess again.
Bad O2 will make your truck run like crap, not overheat.

Took out the 3" linear springs and reinstalled the 3" progressive springs.
Determined my shocks are toast.
Installed HD TerraFirma retainer rings.

If the o2 's are making you run full lean it can cause a run hot issue, but there is probly another underlying issue helping

Fish, nice job
