cooling fan adjustment

[ken]

Is there any way to adjust the temp that the cooling fan engages? This one comes on at 210 deg and shuts off at 200. I used my laser heat gun to double check. And make sure the temp guage was reading right. It has a 180 thermostat in it but the temp will climb untill 210 when the fan comes on. I'd like to drop it down about 20deg.

That might work. It has a hydro clutch and mabye i could use one of those switches. Thanks!

thermostatic switch in the water crossover controls the fan. Find one that has a lower on and off temp and you are good to go. Unless its overheating as it is I wouldnt mess with it. Its at the perfect temp range for that motor.

210 seems too hot for a 6.2. Most civi ones and the cucv's i've had have 180 thermos.

Won't hurt to try ElkyRacer's suggestion. Not sure I would go as low as 180 though. Maybe 195 - 200?
