Carol,
If you find out what it is, please let me know. I drive a BGT and I'm
beginning to wonder if I have a serious problem.
Ya' see, everyone is talking about the overheating problem with their
B's and I'm running around here in 92-98 degree temps with a (reasonably)
accurate temp gauge which never gets past about 170. My foot well
doesn't get too hot, the air circulation through the vents is adequate,
and I don't get uncomfortable after 2 hours of driving.
Have I offended some of the LBC gods? Is this situation not correct?
Inquiring minds want to know
