Hey, David. Mellow Yellow's high speed fan will come on after a while
when climbing several thousand feet at freeway or highway speeds with
temps in the 80's and 90's. Temp gauge will climb as high as midway
between the LED and the beginning mark of the "hot" range to the right
of it under those conditions. I'd be sweating, too. In fact, I usually
am, not having any AC and with hot air leaking out of the auto shift
housing.
