Thanks, I have replaced the thermostat, the temp sender, the temp switch for the aux fan. The heater hoses were just a result of age and the weather. All the replacements have fixed or corrected little problems. But the auz fan switch is still not turning on the aux fan. Even though the fan works if jumped.
So I may just permanently jump the wires, or I may try a new aux fan switch. I will drive it for a few days, and then decide. I think the switch is around $40. iirc
But as a preventative measure with this heat, I may replace the radiator also.
Thanks
Chuck
