I cant seem to find a replacement thermostat that goes higher than the factory one, lots of options for cooler ones though. It is starting to get cooler up here in the great white north so maybe a winter front is the answer not a different thermostat. But it would be a pain to have to install and remove it every year. Does anyone know how to modify a thermostat to run hotter. I've read a few ways to make them open at a cooler temp but it seems like no one else is interested in increasing coolant temp. As for the wiring on the Flexalite fan the only problem I encountered was attaching the wire to the a/c control circuit. It was simple in theory but in such an awkward spot it was almost impossible to get my hands in a position to make the connection. If the FF Dynamics fan that bigterp is considering has a feature where it activates when the a/c compressor is engaged the same issue is likely. Other than that the only other issue I had with the install was moving that bake controller but that was pretty easy. Maybe the FF Dynamics will be a different shape and avoid that problem though.
