I also had a coolant loss recently. I'm going to build this autospeed temperature switch soon and hook up my fan to it. I'm running a partial grille block too.

How about this for wacky:

My temp gauge goes up to a certain point then starts going down when it is getting hot. I have a separate new oil temp probe so I know which way things are trending. This is probably age related and perhaps a Toyota speciality. I know in kilns the bi-metal temperature probes change over time so you have to test them every once in a while.

Good idea, this alert.
