[DML] Re: Fans go on with ignition key...

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

DMC Joe referred to a post that originates from many years ago when 
I lived and drove my D every day in Houston. Any tme the AC was on 
the fans were running - effectively, in Houston, that was all the 
time. Never had an issue. The temp gage hit the first white mark 
from cold and stayed there - all the time. There were a lot of 
Houston cars fixed like this back in the 80's. My current D has been 
modified like this since 87 when I acquired it. Same fan motors too.
