Yes, Alex I was the one asking numerous questions a while back. I tried to
reply to Arnold's post but I kept getting an error. Anyway, My truck would
get to 210* on real hot days(over 100* ambient temp) even with the heat
running to keep it cool. I added some DEI Radiator Relief on Bernd's
reccomendation, and it cooled it off a few degrees. I can now drive it or
leave it idling with or with out the A/C or heat on and it will just get on
210*. I still don't like to see it get that high, but I've been assured by
numerous people that 210* is ok, and will not damage anything. I'm still
pretty sure that my engine driven fan is dysfunctional. I've never once had
it come on, even at 210* when the electric fan has been running for a few
minutes. I think my fan clutch is not claibrated correctly.

A few weeks ago Will Coughlin asked about this, he was a bit worried about
his temps reaching 210. From what I recall, the general response was that
200-210 was pretty normal, at least was within operating specs.
