Thanks guys. I'll check it out with him. Regarding the electric fan, I don't know if it would be deflection of some air movement or what, however, it definitely blows some air forward and out the front. Your thermostat advisory reminded med of an Isuzu issue. There's a general thought that aftermarket thermostats for Isuzus do not open as far as the factory thermostat. Do Mitsubishis have this same issue?

thanks again.
