Kevin,
     find a good long hill when the wind is not a
factor.   Warm the van up and drive down the hill.
Van will be at the lowest operating temperature and
under control of the thermostat.
   Now drive up the hill and the temp gauge should
rise and the low speed fan should kick on.   Keep
going up the hill and the temp should rise higher and
the high speed fan should go on.   Figure no more than
a needles worth of movement for each stage.   If you
find that the temp gauge does not correctly identify
when the low and high speed kick on you may have a
clogged radiator.   regards gary

Hi Everyone,
Playing with the IR Thermometer today and trying to
figure out what
some
normal coolant temps should be.  I had found one post
in the archive
and
then lost it and can't find it again.  My main
question is at what temp
should the low fan be kicking in with the stock switch
and should the
rad
feed line be about that temp when it kicks in?  Also
what should be the
hottest head temps I should see?
Thanks

Kevin
