This is working out pretty well...seeing probably faster warmups....and FWT staying above 200F when it IS warmed up. Might be seeing a general 2 mpg gain with ambient temps ~ 30-35F. Recent run at 30-40F saw temps as high as 222F in town.

Actual open area is less than 1/3...probably more like 1/5 or less. When temps get above 40F in spring...I will use the smaller block on one side to extend blocking into warmer weather. This would work with any vehicle with an electric fan on which an LED warning light has been installed...due to the fact that you HAVE to monitor temps closely. That or any other warning device....don't depend on a regular temp gauge.
