    Meyers Snowplow
    I have installed a Meyer's DrivePro plow. All is working fine with the exception of when traveling from my home to Camp the Outside Temperature will to rise.

    Today 12/29/2022 the sensor stared at 37F and by the time I was at the Camp to plow the road the sensor was at 56F. It was about a 15-mile drive, and I kept the speed around 40 MPH. Outside temp by phone was 39 F.

    Engine temp stayed solid between the low and high range marks.

    The plow (and mount) does rest in front of the grill. Speed control with PCS does not work due to the plow.

    Besides the plow being in front of the sensor and blocking air flow, any thoughts what might be happening?
