Thermostat question in HOTTT Weather

[kickinassrt-10]

corroborates what I said....engine that produces enough heat to exceed current thermo temp will not run cooler with a 170F. You must increase air flow, capacity etc. Stock setup the fans are variable with water temp. They are not on/off.

Sounds correct...the engine temp needs to reach 226 before the fan kicks on....so I guess the 170, in theory, is supposed to keep the colloant cooler as long as air is coming thru!

Two conclusions in my mind:

1. The very best cooling mechanism is 6th gear...

2. If the fan is programmed to come on at 226 from the factory...it can take more than that safely...

Thanks for getting to the source on this!

Or in 4th gear on QC..... .....and i'm sure it can safely take more than 226 also....No problem, you're welcome prof
