    I double checked this morning about the ~13 second delayed shut off of the engine water pump when the coolant temperature was 104F, that I wrote about in post #104. Well it seems that I had short term memory issues when I made that post. At 104F coolant temperature, the water pump turns off at the same time as the shut off of the engine. There is no delayed shut off of the water pump. I am sorry for causing any confusion. The remainder of what I wrote in post #104 is accurate. Thank you rjparker for the short video you posted that proved what I wrote was wrong.
