Before all this work I took a trip to the lake hauling my camper. Half of it through hill country. At that time the weather was in the high 70°s. I'm using this as my baseline.

I just took the same exact trip this weekend. Temps were in the low 90°s. 70mph the whole time towing a 4k# camper.

Oil, Coolant, and tranny temps were 25°+ cooler across the board. Im extremely happy with this. EGTs never got higher than 1150.

I still plan on adding the 6.4 tranny pan and hood vents. I also have another mod Im considering that should help with airflow and better accessibility, more on that later.

10.5mpg isnt the best in the world. I dont think Ill be able to improve on that while towing through hill country unless I let off the skinny pedal.

Baseball size hail basically destroyed everything I own.
I go in tomorrow morning to get an estimate on the van.

Hope that they don't total it, I am currently dealing with that as a real possibility for one of my vehicles, and it is no fun so I can totally understand. Hope it is all resolved in your favor.

Ill probably buy it back if its totaled. A salvage title doesnt bother me.
I would of probably let it go if I didnt just install almost $4k in parts.

Long story short. They are not totalling the van. They are writing me a check and I'm signing it over to the bank to pay it off.

Seems like a winner to me...
But dings on the roof are aerodynamic improvements and a story to share.
Windshield - no biggie, happens all the time.
Trim pieces from junkyards is pennies on the dollar.
Being able to pay off a large loan, hell yeah.
