Re: choice of "thermo-fan" switch temperature

I would not go for the lower temperature - you want your engine running 
warm, but not overheated.  And, fan motors are about $300 each if I
remember 
right, keep that in mind - in my experience, the usual failure is the
front 
bearing seizing up - it's possible to replace, but not easy (undo a bunch
of 
spotwelds, etc)
