Re: [cfsja] What would YOU do and WHY???

I believe you'll be happy.  I drove home from work, through town, the other day
in 90 degree heat, with the AC on, and left it idle for a bit in the driveway
when I got there.  Never got over about 195 on the temp guage.  Would probably
have been approaching 220 with the stock rad.

Good to know. I don't mind if it heats up when wheeling. I want to know I can stop driving and let it idle and have it cool down. That's most important, IMHO. ...
