Generally, no, although some guys have had bad radiators out of the box. Very rare, maybe two that I know of based on helping people with their cooling problems over the last couple of years (several hundred inline installations and follow up assistance). More likely your thermostat is not functioning ideally, I have several working factory thermostats (I think one is brand new never been used) I can send for the cost of shipping but obviously I recommend the inline mod. Several users down in your part of the world can give you their feedback but generally you should be seeing 100 degrees + ambient as operating temperature.

Had a little fabrication job for a customer this weekend. He wanted some lights added, so I built a hoop to go on his Terrafirma bumper and mounted up a couple Hella 500FFs.
The LEDs underneath were a n addition from a prior visit.
Tapped threads for the ground right into the mounting tabs.
Threads are tapped into the bumper, no nuts required. Makes for easy removal/reassembly if it's necessary.
Also fed the wires through the inside of the tube to keep everything tidy.
Super pleased with the look and function. This was a fun little project.
All stainless hardware was used so there won't be any corrosion issues. The mounting plates and tabs are 1/4". You could jack the whole front of the truck up off this bar, it's very strong. Should provide some protection from deer in addition to being the mounting for the lights. It may bend in an impact with a deer, but should also protect the truck and be easily replaced since it's bolt on.

Went to flush the differentials yesterday, one of the last warm weather days we should have. The fluid was crystal clean, green, must have been done by the PO, 3.5 yrs ago. A bit disappointed, but I suppose I dont need to do the rear. I have the brass plugs and everything. I have run out of things to fix, even the PS pump stopped leaking.

Well, my P1415 came back. I can clear it for a day, but then it comes back.
When I replaced the BMW sai valve, not the Hyundai one, there was residual vacuum, negative pressure, on the vacuum line. Should that be there? Or, should the system be neutral pressure at rest?
That may be my issue I hope.
