Thanks for the reply Jim,

I opened the radiator cap and placed a meat thermometer in the water the meat thermometer matched the dash gauge, and in a short amount of time with the engine idling I was boiling water. I was hoping it was a bad thermostat, but as previously mentioned, it tested good and was just replaced with new.

So if the engine is good, thermostat and fan are also good.....only thing left is a neglected 10 year old radiator, did I miss anything?
