| i have one sitting on the shelf for about 7 years.  it was noisy and did not 
work well.  last year after a major error on my part, i replaced my radiator 
core(the original) on the bj8 with a high efficiency core.  i have now gone 
through most of the heat here in vegas for this summer and can say that it 
never gets above the 190 degree thermostat setting unless i sit at a light a 
long time.  the temp will creep up to 200-204 or so, but come back down as soon 
as i start moving.  cost me 300 bucks but makes me a happy camper.  i used to 
watch the temp like i did the fuel gauge on the F-4, but now i am much more 
relaxed about it, checking the temp during my normal scan.   hjim
