230* that thing should run at 180-195 tops. I agree with the shop, go with the stock fan whenever possible.
I am also running 1 large electric fan. Works fine. Stock fan is great I'd yiu can round one up though.
Just a thought, but I have a brand new radiator. If it's not the fan or the cap, how do I tell if maybe the engine side itself isn't clogged or just gunked up?
I took it for a drive. While leaving my neighborhood, I noticed the temp gauge shoot way up then go down to 180 or so.. shoot up again then back to 180 where it stayed for a few minutes. It slowly got warmer and seemed to stay around 200 for a while. then with stop traffic and slow driving it went to 230. all within about 45 minutes. Also I looked and my friend who convinced me to get rid of the "crappy clutch fan and shroud.." convinced me to buy a 12" UNIVERSAL SLIM FAN PUSH PULL ELECTRIC RADIATOR COOLING 12V 1730 CFM no shroud on the fan.
I found our yesterday when servicing a relatives 80 that oreillys carries the fan clutch for something like $30. I put one on his and it seems to be fine.
