Well, in my experience and word from others, new thermostats sometimes fail, I would try that first. If you are wanting to go with a aluminum rad, make sure you do not go with the cheap ones, they will not bolt up with the stock mounts. If its going to be a while, then I would see about putting the stock fan and clutch assembly back in, with a new thermostat. Hope this helps, good luck.
