[QUOTE="dfb, post: 129215, member: 11792"] Just to add a few thoughts. This may seem counter intuitive but the Temperature drop across a good radiator core is only 15-20 degrees at full load. A more significant temperature difference would indicate a restriction in the core. It does sound like you have an airflow problem across the radiator. Radiator cap raises the boiling point 3 degrees for every pound of pressure it adds, so if the coolant is not even reaching 212 it is not contributing to running hot. Pressure does help the pump run more efficiently with less chance of cavitation. [/QUOTE]
