The latter being something I look for as a tell of how well a truck's been cared for. In this case it's not quite the same thing due to all the work performed. Otherwise a fantastic looking truck, gives us all something to shoot for. Well done.
Do the non ACE trucks have an AC shroud??
My 04 is non ACE, and I got a used AC cover, but there are no mounting points for it.
Hardly matters, just wondering.

Yes, my truck has no ACE and the AC shroud has the two sections so that it would also cover the ACE pump if it were present. The mounting hardware is a long bolt with a 3 or 4 inch spacer on it - see below

Ahhh, long spacers(which I don't have), now it makes sense!
Thanks

I may have some spacers if you want them. I'll send you a PM if I run across them.

not sure about that. Running 215-230 in any car will take a toll on the engine and head gaskets. How hot do you think that coolant gets when it’s already at 225-230 and you shut that engine off


hince why these engines were and are a head gasket nightmare.
there are 4 discos in my local classifieds and all say they are overheating
actually I’m putting offers on a few of them. $1000 cdn
maybe I’ll practice doing head gaskets on them. If it goes well I can sell them for 3-4
