-and the fact that you're not passing 40 to 100+MPH, ambient temp wind over all the exposed parts of the system we discussed. Don't understand the last part of your sentence there Fred-are you saying what I just said?
I believe that the 'sheltered' position of the t'stat and it's lines may not provide the benefit you suspect
while driving. As you saw, covering the cooler did next to nothing. You will still be passing fan and rad air over the t'stat, albeit warmer than ambient.
Testing will tell.
