Absolutely but its a seasonal product for us. Will be back in the spring before the heat hits.

Planning on getting more?
Well I got my fan kit from Phil. Thanks. I am going to wire it to come on when the compressor high pressure line reaches 130 degrees F. That should correspond to a high side pressure of about 220. I will use a relay and a clamp on temperature switch.

I will test the circuitry, but won't know how well it works until next Summer.
Thanks,

@LandCruiserPhil , are you still offering these? I noticed my temp gauge creeping up yesterday while idling outside of a house, and my air lost just a bit of the AC 'bite'. Considering I take the pup everywhere with me and leave the truck running for him, this is imperative before it gets too hot this summer. I noticed the site says unavailable as of now. I'm a buyer today if they are available.
Not sure if any movement of the needle is tolerable. I've never noticed a budge in any it my Toyotas but just a tick or two in the LX sitting in the sun idling for a while. This is about as high as it ever got:Check your fan clutch. No matter how hot, the temp gauge should never move. The AC getting warmer is pretty normal for prolonged idle at high temps, but the main fan is more than capable of keeping the engine at 190 no matter how hot the outside temp is.
Could be variance in the thermistor or gauge conversion, since they're usually typically buffered. Would be interesting to see water temp readings if you have an OBD2 reader and app.Not sure if any movement of the needle is tolerable.
