Got the new Falkens mounted today, and they're made at the old Dunlop plant in Tonawonda, NY.

When I polished the wheels, I knew I would have to go back over them to wet sand the orange peel and get the spots where the old weights were. What I didn't plan on was sanding through the dad blasted clear and f#$%ing it all up....😡 I hate doing sh*t twice!!!!

OK, gents, anyone got a good way to get some heat? This damn thing air cools at highway speeds under 40*F. It was 23 this morning, I used the remote start for a 10 minute warm up, and it still was under the first tick on the gauge- >155*. Chilly ride to work, fo' sho! Once I got into traffic it started to come back up, but not high enough to open the thermostat. BRRRRRRRR!

Cardboard the grille? My GMT400 trucks used to do that and cardboard over the grille worked well.
I thought about that, however, if the t-stat isn't opening, blocking the radiator might not do much? I think my current plan of attack is to reverse the heater core lines to backflush it. That seemed to work the last time, kinda.
