  • Is there a low temp fan switch for the 3.8?

    It would seem so much easier to swap a low temp fan switch in with a low temp thermo, rather than fooling with a manual switch. What about the Hypertech switches for TPI cars? The wire looks a little short, but otherwise it looks like the one on my engine. It is right below the TB right?

    I would bet with a simple resistor you could change the reading of the thermistor to the computer to make it THINK its really 20-30degrees hotter than it trully is.

    The good would be that you would have fans which kicked on earlier [img]smile.gif[/img]

    The bad would be it would kick itself out of warmup cycle a bit early :(

      Rksports carries a automatic fan switch. You can set the fans to kick on from 145 degrees to 245 degrees. I think it runs at $149.99. Not for sure.
