So after three morning runs I can say this, weather in PA is rubbish.

Monday Morning: 57
Tuesday Morning: 59
Wednesday Morning: 63

So much for testing it in the cold. I can say that the trans still seems to hold the gear while the engine is cold. I fear the trans is controlled more by the engine temp than the actual load on the trans. But its hard to tell because We haven't hit below 50 in three days...Besides that trans is still working normally. :-)

Oh well. Unless it gets cold again soon, I won't be able to give immediate results of the a difference in warm up times.

I'm starting to consider full synthetic motor oil as well. Right now I'm running Valvoline Durablend (synthetic-conventional blend).

A bit of good news is that my LED guage light works after swapping to a different led...the bad news its now so bright its actually back to the same issue I had the with the filament bulb. And it makes a glare on the windowshield. oh well at least its green and matches other lights. I do need to make a cover for the back of the gauge. The new LED holder has a transparent stopper. so I now have forward facing green light. *rolleyes* i'm sure its only a matter of time before I picked by a local twit cop for having the green light on the dash. I'll be fixing that up on Friday.

Two more projects are in the works. And I'm thinking up a third and a fourth. All are hush hush for now! :-p
