Thanks for the offer Bill, but she's my DD, and where I work I cannot be without a vehicle for even a day.
Out of curiosity, if i were to hard wire the fans to be always on, how cool would that keep the engine? Would it get warm enough to open the stat?
It just annoys me that GM has set the turn on points so high, it doesnt leave you much of a buffer if you develop a problem in the cooling system. This is the only car ive driven where its considered "normal" for the temperature to reach 220. Most other vehicles seem to keep the temps pretty tight, my grandmother's civic gets to temp and will not get lower than 194 or higher than 199. I have never seen that needle hit dead center.
