JP / MidOHasp...another thought..

basics but often overlooked....

make sure BOTH fans are running...and make sure they are BOTH SUCKING/PULLING air !! ie, pulling air thru the radiator , from front to rear towards the engine !

sometimes the connectors to one of the fans gets reversed when connected. when that happens the fan(s) will run in reverse direction, ie, they will be PUSHING air from back to front. that worsens the condition. you could have one not working or one pulling and one pushing . happened to me when i had disconnected them and then wondered why my engine temps were higher than normal, i had reversed the connections on one of the fans. hooked them up correctly and voila, all was fine again.
