Thanks much to all for the feedback!

Is the factory fan a suitable replacement or is there a
better one?

Will also try the thermostat, the coolant system is clean.

I'm getting a rattle inside the catalytic converter, which I
assume means it bad. Should I eliminate the cat in the
process?

thanks ... Dwight
