I find this stuff totally interesting, and am totally paranoid about my engine temps, too. Now that I clean my radiator regularly my temps run consistent with conditions (terrain, summer, etc.). The one problem I discovered was after or trip to Creede. While at Tom's cabin I discovered that I had developed an exhaust leak inside the engine compartment that was spewing, obviously, diesel particulate which was being sucked into the radiator. At Tom's cabin we did a pretty through cleaning which got me home, after which I repaired the exhaust leak, and have cleaned the radiator after each trip.
On the humidity deal......without A/C I don't think large parts of our country would be habitable...just returned from Austin, TX where it was 90+% humidity for the week were were there.....makes me appreciate So. Cal. a little more....we may be broke (as a State), but we have low humidity....LOL! While we were there they were finishing up some work resulting from HAIL damage. The contractor came to reattach the fuse box for the A/C to the wall....whatever he did caused the fuse (5amp fuse) in the inside the home portion of the unit to blow....took them most of the day to find the problem and fix it.....just about the time we were getting ready to bail out to the mall they got it going again.
