I've been blaming it on this Texas heat. Normally the temp gauge doesn't get past the LED light, but when it's 100 and the AC is blowing it goes right on up there to when the high fan speed comes on. Especially when I'm going around 70. Not bad if speed is around 60. RPM's seem to make a big difference! Thinking of installing a manual switch on the dash to turn the high speed fan on. On the hot days I could just turn it on when the temp goes past the half way mark and leave it on. Thots?
