Check (mate)! haha. Added a check valve post air-dryer (2 psi loss over 12 hours is still considered a leak in my OCD eyes!)...and and diagnosed the spongy brake pedal. New Master cylinder is on order as of 10 mins ago....but just for fun....here ya go:

Saw low 120s a few times in stop and go traffic last summer (twice towing a 5500lb trailer and A/C on max.).

I kept an eye on the coolant temp gauge those days.

Need some Stealth bulbs now.

That "egg yoke" look is NG.

The bulbs from StealthAuto are actually brighter then OE. The cheap ones are dull.

AHH.. cool... thanks! Going to have to order a pair then. The silver bulbs came with the side markers. Guess they are crap.

Stealth Auto uses the same process used for NASA vehicles, lifetime replacement if the coating peels or bulb fails. Set of 6 (fronts/rears/sides) costs under $90.
