Looks like a hot one!

I remember when I first starting browsing through an Isuzu vehicle brochure from the dealership, there was a section praising the durability of Isuzu. It said that the vehicles were tested in extreme conditions by driving them in Desert Valley all day and then dousing the engine in cold water.

I bet the second part of that test would have been quite welcomed by passengers and vehicles alike after a day in that heat.

when looking for a container to hold drained brake fluid, find a container that is different from the beverage you are currently consuming.

Yeah, the outside temperature was very high, the A/C was "on" all the time, but there was no overheating. I was using the TC low range as much as possible to keep the engine rev higher.
