Overheating



I used to find it very uncomfortable to drive my
DeLorean in high heat. I had to always have one eye
on the tmep guage and, on more than one occasion, had
to pull over and cool down.

Since 1997 I have been running with a triple core
brass radiator, a self bleeding unit and the Fanzilla
unit. I now almost forget I've got a temp guage. Let
me share a recent experience.

Last Saturday I drove from So. Calif back to Colorado.
It was nearly 100º when I began 45 minutes of
EXTREMELY slow stop and go on the freeway (the OZfest
was going on). Then, 30 miles down the road all lanes
were closed due to a fatality accident (another 30
minutes of stop and go) and now we were at 100º. The
temp was 106º as I went through Baker, CA. In Vegas
it was over 100º and I was in VERY slow traffic for 40
minutes. 

All the time I was comfortable with the air
conditioning on and my temp guage never quite got to
1/2 way between the first peg and 220º.

I share this story because we see so many horror
stories about "common" DeLorean problems that do not
have to be common problems. There are fixes out there
and when applied they make the thrill of owning a
DeLorean even greater because you can now drive it in
comfort and with confidence.

Have a happy, safe 4th.
