I don't know how a "radiator and fan set up" can cost $3500.

A 165 thermostat but it typically runs 20--25 degrees above the thermostat rating? The thermostat is not in control of engine temperature. The electric cooling fan MAY be in control--but perhaps not adjusted properly, or perhaps it's not in control either.

Your cooling system has genuine problems. PROBABLY related to the "$3500 radiator and fan set up". What temperature is the fan engaging? What temp does it disengage?
