Different ways to look at it=2E One of my goals was to have the fan run as =
little as possible, to try and get by with the stock 19 amp generator=2E My=
 thought was that I didn't want the fan to run, if airflow through the radi=
ator was already sufficient to keep it cool; even if the water coming out o=
f the engine was "hot"=2E

Dunno if that really makes sense, but I've been pleased with the result=2E=
 Stopped at a traffic light or similar, the gauge slowly rises until the ne=
edle points to just about the '5' in "185"=2E Then the fan comes on, and it=
 drops back to about the '8' (which is just barely above where it sits goin=
g down the road)=2E

Only other time the fan runs is sometimes when getting off the freeway, it=
 will run for a few seconds until I get back up to 30-40 mph=2E
