After not tightening a clamp and losing a hose in the driveway, I can say for certain that the pump pushes full flow all the time.

And it's done (yes, I'm keeping the grill block plates, they help drop the fuel consumption a tad and the wife likes them):


Just revving it up and down and moving back and forth in the driveway until the engine warmed up, the transmission temperature got up to 50*C. More testing once the travel restriction is lifted

15 years of the rubber hose rubbing against plastic will do that.

In the process of putting new slotted and dimpled rotors plus hd Bendix pads on then coil spacers for a lift whilst towing.

Nearly halfway through putting a set of extractors and high flow exhaust and new style horseshoe manufold on. Figured I might as well use the time productively.

With the spacers are you changing your shocks? In doing my research for lifting my WG I was told the existing shocks wouldn't handle a 2" lift. Was that BS?

100% BS, the current shock length will be fine.

So after three days I've decided I'm never touching a 4.0 inlet or exhaust manifold ever again, and I'm only just finishing getting it done now.
