WTF 100+ degrees for over 2 months straight, then it rains and today it's in the 50s.

Damn my truck is loving it though. I really don't get why my truck runs SO much better in the cool weather. It's seriously like night and day.

Is it a hemi thing or what? Do yalls trucks run better in the cooler weather? I can really feel it when I roll into the throttle. It just pulls and pulls.

Colder air is more dense so you're actually sucking in more oxygen atoms which = more power. I just can't believe how much of a difference it makes. Too bad when I made this post is was 50 degrees and it's been 80s and even 90s every day since then. It's humid as crap too
