To Chrome or Not To Chrome????

I say do it. Yes it is to much to have the fuel chromed also. Then you should have them powder coat. CHROME EDITION in black on top of the valve covers.

Those are tacky lookin. You can DO too much and those to me are too much.

Everybody....Stop...Read that again......BAMA just said that you CAN do to much (referring to chrome).....Wow I've heard it all now!!

Bama;

F350DRW1 is right. Being an old racer, we learned that chrome retains heat. Remember that old adage, if it won't go chrome it.

I do appreciate the advise. Mainly just having some fun with this.

But seriously, how much (in degrees) of a temp rise would you see if any?

and would it be enough to make a diff?

I think on a hot day, pulling a heavy load up a steep long grade, it could make a difference. Driving in cool weather probably it would not matter much. Chrome might be an asset in Alaska.
