First drive, it turned on. And wouldn't turn off at all. Went back home to call Tom about this. I wasn't a happy camper. He explained how the adjustment screw worked. It wasn't adjusting as he said it should. After some thought. And messing around with it. I figured out that for some reason. This adjuster was working in the opposite direction. BINGO. Took it for about a 15 mile trip. Made an additional adjustment along the way. Is it quieter then the original fan. Not sure. But lift the lid as it's engaged. Seems to move a lot more air. Over all. I'm pleased. The trip to Tucson will be the test. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale

I have been using one for few month and it is refreshing to know the fan
will come on when the temp goes up and off when it drops down.
