[V8] Overheating, loss of electric fan 92 V8 4.2

[MORRALEE David]

I agree QSHIP , I've have a replacement rad for my car and will put in
shortly . The old rad is super clean and has NO signs of clogging . 

instrument cluster would read fine on the highway, and high around town.

After doing a couple of unnecessary radiator replacements in my wife's
car, I decided to actually verify that there actually was a problem.
Indeed, there was, the gauge in the instrument cluster would read fine
on the highway, and high around town.  The IR temp gun confirmed that
the engine was at  normal temps, and the ecu fan speed trigger was dead
nuts on.
 
Before you change a darn thing, make sure there's a real problem.
