The rest of the time the fan runs at variable speeds according to the temp of the radiator. I set mine for 202 degrees and it maintains that temp within 4 degrees. There are no swings of temp. I also ordered the LED indicator for the fan. I may have one issue in that on the highway I believe the fan is acting like a generator and the LED is coming on, but when I slow down it goes off. Maybe a diode across the fan would stop this. Any ideas?

install looks great. did you get my pm?
as far as the generator issues goes, i have read that many aftermarket efan kits have "trap doors" so that air can get through the radiator and by pass the fan when driving at speed but when at slow speeds or when the fan is on, the little flaps shut. or you could just try eliminating some of the shroud so it doesnt cover the entire radiator.
