steel, the passenger side engine fan runs based on a thermostat in the motor compartment (I think). It will even run after you shut off the motor for a minute or two if it's really hot.

My fuel gauge never read 4/4 so I had my mechanic zip tie off the hoses inside the fuel tank that were getting in the way of the float. This didn't fix the problem so I paid him to swap out the sending unit and recalibrate the fuel system with a PST tool. It has to be done with the tank nearly empty and dribbling in fuel while someone watches the electronic display on the PST tool.

Now I get almost 4/4 when I top it off. Might be my fault or issue now... I swapped out my black gauge faces for silver ones a while back and I may not have put the needle on in the exact same place it came off.

However, I'd rather have it show a little low than artificially high and me run out of fuel or burn out my fuel pump for running with too little fuel in the tank to keep it cool.

Hope this helps.
