Hey Wilfie!!! Open your wallet and pave the road!!! Sorry we missed seeing you and Mary this year. Maybe next year, I hope. BTW..I took mine in for service last Wednesday. They kept it for 3 days!! But they did change my water pump, tire presure sensors, A/c compressor, and belt tensioner all under warrenty so I can't complain. My warrent runs out this week, glad they found everything they did!! The dealer here also gave an 06 Z06 to use till I got mine back!!! Wish I could have kept it!! But, it was red and Aretta HATES red. Guess I'll look for another silver one

Had the AR headers installed at Carlisle also this year, My fans run also now, I never noticed them on so frequently before. I have a hood seal also and did take notice to the increased amount of engine dust.

Did you have your fans reprogrammed to come on earlier? I have the AR Headers and if I got through a dirt field then I get dirt everywhere and with my car slammed it does pick up more dirt than before, but not from the Headers
