Hows that?
When I was playin with putting in the relay.. i noticed the radiator didnt
even get warm till the T-stat opened... (which should be operating temp...)
The T-stat should keep it in the operating range... I DO agree having the
fans run all the time the ignition is on is not a great idea... but I dont
think it will take any longer.. especially when you are on the road...
