I have already knocked out all of the obvious culprits. The electric fan
fusible link is new and the fan runs through the 3 speeds correctly. I
installed a bracket to lock the belt driven fan's viscous clutch....so it is pumping
more air than a new tighter clutch would. The radiator is a brand new
German one. The temp never rises over 110 degrees. It will get there in hot stop
and go with the AC on or off. On hot days it will go a little above 100
while cruising on the highway. Basically, it will get too hot unless the engine
rpms are up. It seems like the water pump is not pumping enough water...but
I am thinking that the thermostat is just not fully opening. We will see.
I will hold off on a new temp sensor. Thanks to everyone for the advice.
