By "stockish" I mean that I dont want to turn the project into a full on aerodynamic truck. Trying to keep it stock looking. I dont plan to drop it, will probably get P235/75r15 tires (up from my 225/70), and get a topper. Ultragauge is on my next pay check list as well.
I was being sharkastic.. A grill block will increase temps which can be an ok thing unless you block to much and overheat.

I've never heard of a grill block decreasing temps. It sounds like he might have a bad tstat that coincided with the timing of the added grill block.

Ultraguage is a great investment. You won't regret it.
