Sorry for not getting back sooner, have been working alot here. anyways what i have done...
I put some CLR in the radiator and let it sit for about a hour, then i flushed it out, no i didn't let it get in the engine, i unhooked both hoses. flushed it out and tried it, what i got was about a 50% improvement in the coolant, doesn't overheat at idle now, and only gets about half as hot as it used too. i also cleaned what i could in between the radiator and ac condenser. I am going to try it one more time, CLR is cheap, and only took about 10 mins to it, other then the hour wait while soaking. if this doesnt help it more then i am going o replace radiator, just triing to keep from pulling the radiator out. getting about a 25 degree change from in and out. Other then that everything seems ok.
And on the fan note, its a chevy not the ford, not sure if that matters on the fan thing, but the fan and clutch are doing a great job, it cools it right off.
