Amen. After reading all the suggestions to correct an overheating problem I
did the radiator rebuild. Received quotes to recore the entire original
radiator with more rows (expanded capacity) right around $400. There are a
number of options and each shop had a few differences in what they would do
and offered. Made the change with a look that very closely resembled the
original but with a much more efficient cooling design and capacity. Might
add that there are a lot of radiator shops out there and they are very
competitive.

Don't waste your time. I tried every thing. Electric fan, Texas cooler fan,
California fan, oil cooler, you name it. The only thing that helped, and it
really did a very good job, was having my radiator rebuilt with two extra
rows. The rebuild used the original top tank but they needed to split the
lower tank and make it larger to accommodate the extra rows on the core.
I now can drive at sustained high speeds (70-80 MPH) in the hottest weather
(90+ degrees) with the temp staying under 200 F. The radiator looks 100%
stock but was very tight and a little difficult to install, until I used a
shoe horn (only kidding). It has been running flawlessly for over two years
and has made driving my beautiful beast a pleasure.
