On a related note (cool air), the mod done by the builder to the fan shroud for the full flow left two gaps through which hot air (heated further by the full flow hose/fittings themselves) could pass. The builder says he is confident the gap is too small to be related to my overheating, but I'm wondering if listees share this confidence (?).
