Once it gets that warm, I have no problem. Only when it's single digits or low double digit F.  Was the vehicle in your driveway driven and warmed up before the temps were taken, or how long did you run the engine to get to that point?

Sitting in the driveway with outside temp of 31F, front levers to right and fan speed two, rear blower speed two.


At idle with gauge needle inside the left half of the LED, temperature just *inside* the windshield vent 129F, just *inside* the rear blower vent 150F.


At about 2000 rpm, windshield vent 160F rear blower vent 165F.

A couple years ago in the summer I had an aluminum dryer vent running from the rear blower out the side window (radiator experimenting).  I was measuring 180F at the window at that time.
