If you are going to buy new U-bolts you might as well buy a u-bolt flip kit, they aren't that much more expensive than just new u-bolts. Check Marlin's site, I think I remember they where pretty cheap.

Well that's good. Maybe mine will too. And ill let you know about that head unit.

The head unit was just a cheap one at Best Buy (grand total of $101 with a 4yr warranty). It has no bluetooth but it has an audio cable jack. And the specs are 50wX4.

And i have NO idea how to wire it up. There is just a cluster of wires that are connected to my old radio...

Mine doesn't run that hot normally in the summer...now in the winter it runs hotter, figure that one out. As soon as I move the heater slide to hot and the truck runs a bit warmer??? It's been like that for the 1.5 years I've had it.

You can wash it, just don't use any wax products on it yet.

Anything with any waxy compound that could leave a residue after you wash it is a no. Don't you have any regular car wash soap? I guess dish soap would work if you don't though.

I think that can vary, Brian. However, it's better than overheating, eh? lol. You might do a quick check of your Thermostat..... I believe yours is the same as mine and calls for an OEM 180* Stat. Mine runs a bit more than yours, and never gets hot... and I've been told by most Guru's, Dealership foremen, etc., that they run better a lil warmer than 1/3rd or right at 1/3rd on the dot. Yours doesn't seem that far off from a 3rd. If you have a temp. reader(like a meat thermometer) you can just stick it in the coolant as it's warmed up and see if it reaches 180.... maybe it's stuck open? Either way, ...like I said, BETTER THAN OVERHEATING, EH? HAHAHA.
