is that due to too much power and not enough traction in the rain or just by choice

by the way could you get some close ups of the radiator and how its mounted and what size did you use?

ITS A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH,NO TRACTION WHEN ITS WET AND THE TIRES ARE TO BIG AND KICK UP A HELL OF A SPRAY = A TICKET AROUND HERE. THE RADIATOR IS A UNIVERSAL GM 19HX24W WITH A 16" ELECTRIC FAN ON THE FRONT. I WILL POST SOME MOUNTING PICS SHORTLY.

When i first built my truck i had a 283 4spd.stock rear stock size tires and i drove it everywhere and it was fun and dependable sometimes i wish i had left it that way as i could drive it more often. Not that my truck isn't fun but now it has no heater, radio,and the wipers are hand use only(fair weather truck).

Heres a pic of what I did with the heater hoses.... since your motor might be set in your truck differently than mine it may or may not work. They are just 5/8" copper elbows you can get at home depot not sure where the aluminum one came from though, I found it in my garage. Heat works great too with the high flow pump I got. :wink:
