OK SSCULLY,
On the chance that I may have to take some ridicule here, I have to tell you a funny story.
This morning I decided to try my auto tap on the way to the office. By the by, this thing is pretty darned cool. I have not really had alot of time to get it all figured out, but I'll get it by the week end. I do have to work once in awhile.
So, I hook it up to my lap top and off I go.(By the way, watching the road and the monitor at the same time has a few inherent risks associated with it...LOL.
I get to the office and my sales mgr. comes out to my truck with a work problem and I shut off my truck and get out to assist him. I reached back in my truck and turn off my lap top and close it.
About an hour later I head to an appointment. I suddenly noticed that I was hearing my electric fan kick on and off. After about an hour of trying to figure out how to get that damn noise to stop, I arrive at a job where one of our techs is at. He gets in the truck and after the convo about hearing the fan, he starts poking around the dash and says he can feel air comming from somewhere.
Long story short, my dad gummed laptop was still on and the cooling fans in it where cycling on and off. I can't believe I spent that much time chasing that sound around.
Rocks:o

93* is 199.4, so that is pretty good ( 202 is the +10* number, so you're right there ).
100* C is 212* F and that is the stat+10 +10, so dead on.
The under drive pulleys are the big question I had for the FAQ.
I don't have them, BigRed2 has a similar setup but using FAL kit, and is seening overheat problems.
Can an underdrive pulley and Electric fan user provide a difinative answer to the question:
Are you to put in a cobra waterpump with the electric fans, and the underdrive pulleys ?
I thought I read this in a thread, but I cannot find any thread that says this.
I see lots of cobra water pumps in Ls, and I think JDM suggests it with the electric fan on a L, but I don't know for sure.

At least you did not cream someone watching the montior too much while driving.
I read the opening line, and my stomach fell.

I was reading through your post to see if I can figure out where your problem is coming from.
You mention that your manual switch is getting hot, it shouldn't be!! If it is a lighted switch it may be causing a short to the circuit board. Give me a call and we will figure this out.
