Well,
Yesterday it hit 92 and my car reached 228 deg with the A/C on in trafic. I have yet to see anything above 205 so I was a bit concerned. Got home and poped the hood and the drivers side fan was not turning. I spun it by hand and it started turning so I think the motor is shot . I am perty upset as I just replaced the darn thing 6 months ago. Since I went with the B-cool my car normaly runs 177 on the Hwy and 188-195 in trafic so I knew somthing was up. I got the motor from MAD but cant imagine why it went bad already. I tested it several times and with the relay active (Jumpered it) The fan just sits there unless I give it a little push then it will start and run. The passangers side works fine.
I swear if its not one thing its another, replaced the starter yestrday as well and now the IAC is acting up
Ok I have vented life will go on.

It is good to get things off your chest. Hope you and the car can cool down a little

A little rant now and then is good for the blood pressure.
