We have quite a few in service, they all seem to behave the same way. The car runs at a lower steady state coolant temp, but when stuck in traffic, the fans kick in just as they normally would, but when back moving again, the car returns to the lower steady state temp.
A couple of observations to prevent confusion: The dash gauge does read slightly lower, but you need to remember that these dash gauges are both woefully inaccurate and non linear; so you cannot put a lot of faith in them at the best of times. But with the LN stat installed, they do display a lower steady state temp. Secondly, the so-called "A/C hack" to get the dash controls for the air conditioning to display coolant temps is not accurate. I have never seen one that displayed the same values as a PIWIS, Durametric system, or even a lowly OBD II scanner. Differences of 20 degrees or more are not uncommon, so I would not trust the A/C display value at all.
