Hi Bob,
In a message dated 5/9/99 12:05:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, you write:
<< This point is gotten backwards by many who jump
to the intuitive assumption that the better the system is working, the
bigger the temperature drop in the coolant across the radiator when, in
fact, the ideal case would be approaching no temperature drop across the
radiator. >>
This is a very good point. A car or truck with a well designed cooling system
running under load with the thermostat open should have a stabilized
temperature drop of 8 degrees F to 10 degrees F across the radiator.
