I noticed on a long road trip last weekend (60 degree temps) that even my standard sized cooler was running 175-180 degrees... If you read about how the thermostatic plate works, you're pumping oil to the cooler all the time. It's the level of bypass that varies with the thermostat, but there is always bleed to the cooler. Make yourself a cover for a portion of the cooler to reduce it's efficiency. (See page 5 for the final soluition to this issue) Last edited by Modshack; 11-26-2009 at 02:43 PM. |
