The aftermarket windshields are really prone to chips and cracks. I had 4 replaced by Safelite in my AstroVan. The original factory OEM lasts for years but insurance only pays for aftermarket which is half the thickness. Tiniest rocks crack them. I finally got tired of it and pulled OEM Chevy one from the junk yard and glued it in myself. It was actually easy to do. Just google OEM vs aftermarket windshield. Every year replacements.
Wise idea to not push the oil cooler. Mine cracked around 123miles and within 1500 miles it went from a tiny intermittent drop to leaving oil on my driveway each short drive before they could get in to fix it. Really appreciate your channel, thanks for sharing your ups/downs of ownership.

That’s for sure. Already have 2 stone chips!

That’s exactly what I’m worried about. Thanks for the heads up.
