I don't think a cooler thermostat will solve your problems. All they do is open at the temp, so it will just open earlier, but if you are running above 200 both the 190 and 165 will be open, so thta won't make it any cooler.

The electric fan could actually be in the way of the engine driven fan. It would be tough for the engine driven fan to pull extra air from around the electric fan. The way I always understood it was one or the other. In some cases you can use the electric as a pusher, on the outside of the radiator pushing the air in. It may be worth a try to pull the electric fan and see if that will help. If you can find a shroud that will work those help a lot too, forcing the fan to pull air through the radiator and not letting it grab air from the engine compartment.

I would agree..... one or the other. Or, a pusher electric on the condenser side of the radiator w/the mechanical fan & the correct shroud on the engine side.
