I have a 98 with a 5.2. I've been pondering the 3923 plugs. Did it seem to run any better right after you put them on? Sounds like you got a nice truck.

I have a 98 SLT CC automatic that I just got a few weeks ago..
I took off my clutch fan and replaced it with an Imperial electric, but it cannot quite keep up with the a/c and Atlanta heat, so I am going to switch to an Black Magic and see if that helps.
I also just got Autolites, but just ordered Magnecor wires and BW cap and rotor, so I will change all them at the same time. Next is dual exhausts..I am going to try an Xcelerator ss muffler from my local shop, $249 installed. It has a lifetime guarantee and is "supposed" to sound great..we will see...
This is the best board on the net for sure...

Does your fan keep your engine cool enough?

My engine stays cool stock. I live in CO though. Once in a while it will get over 100 degrees, but the humidity is low. I don't know if that makes trucks miserable or just people. Congratulations on your truck, Rascal. I'm waiting on my flowmaster exhaust to come in. I got the Force II which is a single 3" side exit. Comes with a 50 Series SUV muffler. I wanted something louder than the Gibson. Bonus, its cheaper too. Plus I get mandrel bent pipes.

I put in a 180 t-stat but sitting in traffic, it climbs, slowly, to 210...(I hope you meant yours gets to 200 degrees, and not 100 degrees..).
I do not want to put the fan clutch back on so I will try another fan.

Rascal, I did notice when I changed my coolant that the temp was getting up to 210 sitting in traffic. The problem was that the coolant wasn't full. If you haven't checked that, I recommend it. Sounds exactly like my situation.

Thanks for the advice, but my coolant level is fine, I just am not getting enough air moving..I will buy a Black Magic fan this week and that will take care of things for me, but I am staying with the electic fan.
