Yep! Cowl is cracked in the center. Guess that'll be next. Thanks.

Thanks. Good ideas to check out.

Ever since I changed to a Hayden Automotive 2781 Premium Fan Clutch, a Dorman 620-112 Radiator Fan and a 180 degree thermostat my mpg went from 10.4 to an average 13.5mpg as long as I don't have a lead foot around the city.

*EDIT*
here is a pic of the fan from the left driver's side you asked for ...

I have a new API Fan Clutch, Dorman 620-112 Radiator Fan, and a 180 degree thermostat!



I bet that I need to switch to your Hayden...

Thanks. Well, at least I have the same direction as you do for the fan blades.

I think that I'll upgrade to the Hayden premium fan clutch. That's a large difference in gas mileage if I get anything even close to that sort of bump up from my pathetic 9.6mpg currently.

finally, after a year of sitting I have started to take the intake off (got the upper half off) to identify why I have lost pressure in cyl #8

Well, finally did another drive cycle yesterday after final polish, seal and wax paint. Checked it this morning and it had no stored codes only a couple pending so I took it and it passed emissions today so no more being forced to illegally drive it in Georgia. Went and got my tags then... boom pow!

Garage door beam and unit fell on my rover...
