But to your point Todd - and it's a good one - the fan should also be capable of keeping the car near the thermostats rated temp if the cooling system itself is in good order. If not - then the fan(s) need to be looked at.

So with that in mind --- WHAT IS CONTROLLING THE FAN(S)?? Do you have a separate fan switch? Is it electronic etc?
