Jeff,
Maybe but I am guessing that it just gets too hot
above 95 to keep the engine cool enough to have the
engine run and run the ac at the same time. Even
with the ac off that high speed fan runs when the
temperature gets above 95. But I am still
interested in those front bilstein shocks you have for
sale. Will these shocks make my front end squeak
like mickey mouse when I replace the tired monroes?
So what is the best price on the shocks these days?
many thanks, gary from belmont south of sf
near sac
