Re: changing the fan temp

It would be best to install a lower temperature thermostat (160 is most popular) and have the PCM reprogrammed (I suggest www.pcmforless.com) to turn the fans on at a lower temperature.

That's the compete answer!!!

But as an FYI, you can run a 160 Deg Thermostat alone, and they temps will rarely climb higher than 1/2 way. I did this for 2 years without any issues.

My PCM Reprogrammed + 160 Deg Thermo, and this past summer the temps sat at 1/3 in 100 Deg Heat & 5 MPH Traffic... So worth reprogramming, but not JUST for the fan settings
