Hello Folks
Am new to this group; candidly have no issues to report; I live north of Toronto Canada, have gone thru the 4 seasons w/o starting/running/ driving issues;
I have noticed this engine runs hot - with coolant / oil / transmission all running just under, or at times, slightly above the boiling point......dealer says this is OK......any comments?
Have also read about ECU chip upgrades that would add both torque & HP; thoughts/observations?
cheers

I ran the Banks Bullet for 3.5 Years problem free, The intake and EGR was replaced at 40K miles, the replacement parts are known defects and unrelated to banks. OEM EVIC The OIL PSI is a L.O.M the temps sensors are plus 10-20+ , I added additional live sensors to confirm.
