Turning heater on helps...

He's heading back from Glennwood Springs now - going up the Vail Pass will be the true test - told him not to exceed 95C no matter what.

He says that when he turns on the heat and runs the fan inside the cabin the engine temp goes down somewhat and helps a little - I'm sure keeping the speed down helps the most. It's cool up in high country already - which should help. Let's wish him all luck.

Does that fact with the heater running and cooling the temps help narrow anything else down for him?!
