sensor is mounted in radiator right under upper hose. i feel a lower
temp stat will do the trick for a couple reasons. it will give the fans
a break first. the confusing part is it will also allow the engine to
run cooler. as bruce said too low is no good but if you look at some of
the threads in here alot are adding additives to get the temp lower. i
guess it's like a recipe, a guideline that you follo9w and adjust it to
what works best for you.
i think it will be better also after i shut car off. i had the fans
hooked up to run after car was shut off and they would run forever. i
feel because the stat closed almost like forming a vacuum that the
water would not circulate to get the cooler water to the sensor.
disconnected that for now as i am killing the battery. i don't think it
is the sensor or the relay as when i tested it to begin with it worked
fine.
also thinking about using a slightly lower pressure cap. new cap was
supposed to be a 15 but was 16 so i put back the 15 that i had. will do
it one step at a time and change the stat and then go from there and
keep you posted.
thanks for your help.
