Subject:      buying cooling fan thermo-switch, which one do you recommend?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

I live in Ohio so hot summers and average winters and am replacing my
radiator this week. Going to do the fan switch since they are only
$11.00. Bentley says my current switch should kick on at 89-94C and
the 2nd stage should be at 95-100C. Currently I only ever get the
first stage even when driving in Florida this spring. 2nd stage does
work but never kicks on.

Anyways BD sells a low temp and a somewhat normal temp fan switch.
Does anyone have a pro/con to the low temp switch at 75-70/82-77c vs
their 85-74/93-82c, the later being closer to stock. Even their high
tem pswitch is 3-5c below Bentley
