it still gets hot, in summer it was getting up into the 90's in traffic on
the way to uni, now it makes it to maybe 86.
how big is the fan your running?
maybe you should test your water temp sensor aswell, stick it it boiling
water. your best off using an aftermarket temp guage aswell as your handset
readout as it is very tricky to read the handset and drive at the same time.
