Been following this thread. When I lived in Los Angeles I had a pusher fan
as I commuted into downtown. I had a switch control. I removed it when I
moved to Oregon. I recently installed a more powerful one for my Conclave
trip with thermostat and switch control. It helped. I just installed an
air shovel and it has improved airflow a lot. Car stayed cool on a 250
drive and stop and go freeway traffic.
