Thanks for the update. I'm glad you found the answer for your overheating. Unfortunately for me I have already replaced those 3 items including using a Hayden severe duty fan clutch. I did however use the 187 degree thermostat instead of the 180 degree that you used. Maybe I should install another Hayden fan clutch, radiator cap and thermostat just in case the slight chance that I might have gotten a defective one. My problem sounds slightly different however because I can hear my fan clutch turn on about 224-235 degrees. Thanks again, Jeff.
oh yeah, does your fan clutch roar for the first 30-60 seconds afer a cold start? If not, the fan clutch is NOT working properly and needs replaced. the thermostat can be tested in your kitchen using a small pot of boiling water and an oven thermometer. Take your radiator cap to your regular mechanic to be tested. That way you don't replace good parts with good parts.
