DeTomaso Mailing List: June 98, Message #296

To All:

I recently had my radiator checked ((as new, factory original(fiamm), no
recore necessary)) and extended the ears for a lay down.  I posted the
pictures and have responded to several additional inquiries.  Anyway, the
big question was did it work.

Started the car last night.  Bled the radiator, it warmed up in about 10
minutes, thermostat opened.  1 fan went on in about 10 minutes,   then in
about another 10 the second fan would cycle for about a minute every 5. 
Still sitting still, but it never did this, it just started pissing in
the driveway.  Dash light for second fan works too, that never worked. 
So far so good.
