Re[2]: Thread on fans... revisited...

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

     Hey JR!  I've slept OUTSIDE AT -5!  Try backpacking the Grand 
     Canyon in January!  Carhartt Arctic Thermal Hoojiwats.
     
     Just for ONE reason why this may be happnening is that here in 
     THE DESERT, when the temp outside STARTS at 117, it warms the 
     engine up when you look at it!  Alot of people take the 
     thermostats out in the summer.  I'm not sure if there's one in 
     there now.
     
        Sorry for yelling.
     
        -Joel
     
     Anyway, I realize that mounting the heavy mass factory fan blade 
     is only a good solution if there aren't too many changes in 
     throttle setting.  The flex fan is on slate soon.

Joel,
     
Have I been outside in the cold too long, or is this NOT really the 
solution to NO HEAT?
     
I thought... with a cold motor, the thermostat never opens, so NO 
coolant flows THROUGH the radiator.. the only reason your fan is cooling 
your truck is from the simple air flow over the motor from the fan... 
not because of the fan + radiator.  I figured this wouldn't be an issue 
at 20 degrees.. now, my friend's little Nissan something-or-other, at 
-20, never once warmed up across town.. electric fan n' all.. it was 
just the cold airflow over the motor.  But at 20 degrees, that shouldn't 
be a problem for you.
     
Brrrr.. 20 degrees.. how can you stand to be that cold, Joel?  ;-)
     
-Tom (-1 here! Feels like summer)
