And to wrap the whole thing in a thermal blanket of some sort.

Interesting. I would give it a shot. I have a version of what you bought with a thermal probe and a 30A relay to convert my ranger to an electric fan. But its gonna be a while. The transmission religiously fights me from removing it so nothing else will start until i finish. *sighs and laughs a little crazy*
