Gotta love the heat

[oleshifty]

I've forgot the fans once or twice, and had that happen. On the plus side, our gauges read WAY over what they are. My gauge normally reads 210 and my digitial never goes above 198ish. I've been thinking about a colder tstat...but everytime I go to buy one, I remember that during winter, it takes about 30 minutes on highway before truck hits 180 as is with stock tstat lol.

I have an electric fan on mine and sometimes forget to turn it on and see the temps creeping up past 210...electric fan helps out a ton especially when its hot out like it has been and when you remember to turn it on.

you guys gotta remember that a cooler t stat wont help ya setting still...it will cool the motor better driving down the road but not setting still

I still have a clutch fan guys. If I had efans I would have them wired to come on at temp and run at higher speed with AC.

ya gotta realize that the cooler tstat will keep the coolant flowing more often, so less time in the rad. Quite often overlooked.

So are you saying it's a bad idea being in such a hot climate?

why not just set it up to just come on at a certain temp like the nelson performance harness and when you turn the ac on it kicks 1 fan on high to keep up. or just put it on an ignition feed and it'll come on no matter what.
