Finally got to go for my "ride".

Caspro Steering Stabilizer is noticably good.
I still have a little play... might have to consider a steering box.
Brakes are excellent ( with Raybestos MC)
New tranny oil setup:
60 mph, no toad, fairly flat road
Tranny oil at external filter: 220 degrees (before cooler)
In pan: 160 degrees (after cooler)

In cruise it stayed at that.
In some stop and go backing into the garage the pan went to 190 and filter
to 240. Started fan on tranny cooler and it came back to 220.

I'm currently still have the oil thermostat in use, which is fixed at about
180/190 degrees.

I'm going to set the fan thermostat so that it come on a little sooner.

Not sure if I'm going to be happy with this. Wish I could find an adjustable
termostat so that it starts cooling a little sooner.

Other than that... we're running good.
