no it is in AZ, 40-80 degrees F, cold in terms of operating temperature.

it was a little neglected in my opinion in terms of fluid changes. the oil was bad compared to most I have changed and the dip stick is stained brown and discolored where the oil sits, either from being really hot, really dirty, or poor quality oil over the years, or a combination of all three.

the coolant was down right nasty, heater didn't work well, theory was clogged hoses and passageways. coolant was very rusty in color. I have flushed it numerous times with some improvement. the truck takes a long time to warm up, theory is that the termostat is stuck a little open and can't close all the way to let it get hot. probably also related to heater not working as well. will be replacing thermostat with factory mitsu thermo soon.

more to follow later.
