My comments regarding the performance of the Fluidyne dealt w the fact it was actually too good at cooling the motor. During a recent drive in 35F weather, the coolant temp had much difficulty getting above the temp for allowing Closed Loop operation. It worked fine in summer and fall temps. My OE radiator needed to be cleaned and I decided to swap in the Fluidyne for extra cooling w A/C. My wife won't get in the car during the summer unless I run the A/C.
I'm using stock thermo.
