My brother drove it around some yesterday and it started to get too hot, and the water in the radiator was cold, so the thermostat is most likely stuck closed. The water pump wasnt moving any fluid either when squeezing on the hoses. We should have changed it before installing the engine, but just overlooked it.

I just talked to them at the shop and they installed the exhaust today, says it sounds badass. We did 2.5 dual into a 3 inch Y, then into a straight 3 inch round muffler that we normally run on our race cars. I will post a video of it later to show the new tone of the exhaust.

the radio is bluetooth ready also and came with a microphone for calls, and they called me on it to test it, sounded great, and didnt sound like it was on speaker phone, so thats pretty cool. I guess we never grow up, just play with more expensive toys!

Wow that's cool on the exhaust and radio. I doubt I could use a micro phone in my truck as it will probably be noisy in the cab. Well too noisy for a micro phone for phone calls.
