DeTomaso Mailing List: May 98, Message #6

Thanks Craig,

So far, you're the only one who's replied to me.  What you said
makes sense.  Today I did my own test.  I thought it was odd to
have one fan come on and not the other, why not have them both
come on at the same time.  So I watched the interval of time
between when one came on, and then the other, and they were 
only about 5 sec apart, surprising!  So I guess I'll leave it like that.

Still curious about that "Saf-Cap" though.......

Thanks again,
Bryan S.
