It doesn't overheat, but I haven't really tested it in continuous stop and go traffic around town. I suppose it is possible that I am just not hearing the low speed, but I would think at least in the garage while letting it idle I could hear it up by the radiator. Any way I could test it further?

Brian, I can just barely hear the low speed on my 86's radiator fan. Are you sure it isn't running? Does it overheat? Ken Lewis http://neksiwel.20m.com/
