Got my SG-II today!

Update : Gas gauge light is on... will go refuel tomorrow or the day after. This will DEFINITELY be worse than first tank, went slower on the highway, but I did lot more city driving than last tank... maybe 7.5 LHK (winter sucks). Anyway, for tanks to come, there will be SG-II data in my Fuel Log.

Next, I have a big problem with cooling. I am 100% upper & lower grille blocked, and I have no problems, even if I don't shut up the engine, and even if I do not use the heater. I tried to hear if the radiator fan would start, but I didn't heard it sor far. The OEM heat gauge shows the same thing all the time when it reach operating temp. I noticed that reaching operating temp was a little bit faster, but maybe ~1 minutes less thats it.

There is currently three solutions that I've thinked of sor far : First, there is enough cooling from the no-belly-panned underside of the car, especially on highway. Second, problem with the cooling system. Three, something I don't know about automatic transmissions.

If it is problem #1, I'll do a frontal belly pan.
If it is problem #2, I'll go to the garage.
If it is problem #3, I don't know what to do...

Would like to hear some suggestions/advices on this.
