One of our Scion Evolution Great Lakes members just took
a trip with his woman from Chicagoland out west and back.
I think he said over 6000 miles through plains, mountains,
and desert. He had zero issues and came back really impressed
with the reliability of his box.

Fresno....Hey I live in Phoenix and I haven't had any trouble yet with it over heating. it got up to 116 one day and I had no trouble with my box. I will say that I will be installing some autometer guages in my box soon because I am not a big fan of just an idiot light. i'd like to see the actual temp that the engine is running at. You can get some AC Autotechnics adapters for the water temp and oil pressure guages. I got mine from www.scionsport.com and just find some guagues tha tyou like. I prefer AutoMeter but there are many other brands out there.

I recently installed gauges, oil pressure, voltage, and water temp. So far here in central FL the temp gauge has never risen abouve 210. Usually 190 to 200. This is in all types of traffic conditions.
