Getting the Wheeling Fever

I drove it last night after changing the cap and thermostat, and then did the post here, yes the temp started to rise after about 15 miles when I drove above 65 or so, at idle/city street speeds the temp goes to the normal on the gauge.

When I did the thermostat, I checked to see if there was any play in the pump, the bearing seem tight, and the pump dosent leak. The fan clutch seems normal.

How much good is a fan at 65+? Wouldn't you get a lot of air through the radiator with or without one at that speed?
