You should have the climate control all the way to hot, and the fan on full to minimize the gushing effect.
I bypassed the climate control for the sake of getting it done, but I can probably do that now. I also have a block heater to put in there, but I have to get a special tee for it to mount it real low.

...except when the fan turns on. If the fan comes on, the temps at one hose will drop by several degrees, and, depending on where your radiator probe is, that one may also drop slightly.
I have not seen that fan move yet. It may be just because I'm not exceeding temps prescribed by the temp sensor, or temps are indeed too high, but the fan is not getting that message properly. I'm confident enough in myself to figure that one out. Thanks for the help Topher. Time to zonk out.
