What do you guys consider *dangerously* hot engine temps?? It feels like
Texas up in Bean Town today and my gauge was bouncing off the 210 mark even
though I have a 180 stat.
For all you N.E.'rs don't worry about the heat... I had a friend visit
from Texas and she brought all this hot air with her. I shipped her back
home today so it should get cooler real soon! :-) --Sorry for any
inconvenience. ;-)

GS,
I live in Dallas, and it is HOT!
So far my fans have held up well, as long as you don't sit around idling
w/ac on for a long time. The heat builds up then, and it doesn't come
back down as easy as it goes up.
I recently decided that I might try an auxillary tranny cooler with a
radiator and fan of it's own. Cooling the tranny fluid, the radiator
water and the A/C condenser is a BIG job for any fan setup.
I didn't know all this even 2-3 weeks ago, now that I do, I have
reservations about recommending it.
I might even go back to the stock clutch fan for the rest of the Summer.
