While the later Carrera set up is sweet, it’s a bit $$ for the financially challenged.

I live in the west Tennessee area, between Memphis and Nashville. It gets smokin hot here in the summer. This was my first summer with my 83 sc cab. I have the stock oil cooler setup still. I had no oil temp issues at all. If I am in the city and at idle for a while, it might get barely above half on the gage, but it usually stays below the halfway mark on mine. Hope this helps.
