I have 4 idiot lights mounted on a bracket under the cowl of the hood.
The lights indicate: water/meth progressively on, Fan 1 on, Fan 2 on, and line lock. I probably will add another light for 220 F alert.
I drove to work today - carnival vacation, so little traffic and not the scary stop and go that I am used to.
Still it was a forty minute drive with most of it cruising. Outside temp 40F. Bessy had the time to hit operating temp.
First thing I noticed was that cruising temp went down from 160 to 150 or lower. Presumably because the pusher truck fan was no longer obstructing airflow on the freeway.
Idling in fron of office - either fan will slowly bring temp down to 170 or lower. Both fans on quickly takes it down to 150 or lower!!!!
Ther thermostat is a 160.
The only thing I am uncomforable with is the dual sensor - 180 and 190. One can push into the rad or screw in a coolant port. For the moment I have one set up in the radiator. The other I have not yet hooked up. Gotta figure out where to place it and pull the plugs - might be tough!!!
I haven't intalled either sensor yet - still fighting off the cold. So all this was done manually.
Anything wrong with having both fans triggered by a single 180 temp sensor?
