My fan runs constantly. Any harm in this?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Took mine out today for a test run in the heat. 50 mph and under my truck keeps itself just over 200 degrees after an interstate run. It was only around 82 this morning. Interstate driving near Wentzville, west of St Louis running 52 to 53mph fan would engage around 205/210 for maybe 20 seconds then shut off. At the higher speed on gentle hills it came on maybe once every minute or two.Took a longer run today. It has switched from 1 minute off, 30 seconds on to 2 minutes off, 20 seconds on when going over flat terrain.
It also seems to keep cool better when parked, fan didn't kick on once when I stopped for a few minutes at Autozone.
A note to those changing their thermostat out: DON'T REMOVE THE OVERFLOW BOTTLE CAP WHEN YOUR TRYING TO REMOVE THE FLIPPING THERMOSTAT. It'll dump the entire bottle through the engine and radiator, resulting in a neon green Niagara Falls.
