It cycles nicely between about 180°-190° and stays in the 'green' on my gauge.. The fan is very powerful and very quiet.

Thank you for all the great advice. I'm always learning more and more on here

That's great news. I like the clean install with the brackets up top - did you fabricate those? Are they attached to the top of the radiator? How did you attach at the bottom? Any close up pics?
