Thanks Will,
I understand closed and open loop conditions. I know that you want your
engine to be sufficiently warm but not too hot. I guess the folks in all
the hotter climates, like Texas, might want extra cooling. Things are
always hotter in Texas, right Bernd? or was that bigger? Also, those that
do a lot of offroading and those that do a lot of towing might encounter
those types of problems as well. I probably just answered my own question.
Anyway, cool away.
Ron

Ronald,
True and false with the combination of a larger radiator, High flow water
pump, Better fan(s),Tranny cooler(auto's only) and maximizing the open space
in the engine compartment it is very possible to keep an engine from opening
even a 160F thermo. as long as you keep a good amount of unrestricted air
flow over the engine/radiator.(30-70 mph)for example I am running a 160F
thermo. a 19' flex fan, a three row radiator, and a tranny cooler big enough
for an RV And when I have water in my radiator(It leaks Like a sive becuase
of a freeze plug on the back of the engine which will be taken care of
during rebuild) I get a code 17 or was it 71 anyhow it stands for engine
being too cold too long. hope that answer your question.
