My aux fan is humming, my sight glass is clear, and have a 30 degree temp drop vs. ambient at the vent at idle.

This was my third attempt. finally got it right. My advice to others: If you are not going to do it 100% correct, you are just wasting your money.

It is 95 degrees, and I cant wait to get in my car again.


Thank you all for your valuable help. I would have never been able to do it without the knowledge of this site.
