Hey nineball, you could try to hook up a fan switch that is set up so the fans come on when you hit the brake, this way when you get in traffic you flip the switch and then when you hit the brake the fan come on. Also you have that truck why not just drive it during the hot months? i drive my jeep alot of the time so i dont have to deal with the drama of an stick shift when i am in the ATL rush hour traffic, and also the parking drama of being a full time college student.

So using 100% water is ok and better as long as outside temps are >32f? I always thought the dexcool had some sort of high tech cooling properties....sounds easy and -- free, might have to do that. Distilled still recommended?
