Changing tranny fluid to synthetic
Wonder if you connect a thermostat in series with the motor you could
cycle it on and off just like my Horton air fan on the 1982FC35? The
fan stays off until the coolant temperature gets to 205 degrees when
it turns on, cools the coolant down and then shuts off. Driving on
the road it never goes on, just when pulling a grade or stopped in
heavy traffic.
