yeah, to say I'm a little upset this didn't work for me is stating the over
obvious. I can sit at idle forever, or at least 30 minutes, without a
problem. This can be with or without A/C running. It's only when I get in
stop and go that I have a problem.

I've played with my fan to come on anywhere from 170 to 190. Nothing helped.
And, when the A/C is on, the fan is on all the time, so engine temp doesn't
even matter at that point. My BM fan is also set dead center on the water
pump. I flushed the radiator and added Radiator Relief at that time since I
had already had 2 thermal runaways a couple of weeks previously.

I appreciate the suggestion, but right now, I'm just going to bolt the stock
fan back on. I know it works, and I'm a bit gun shy right now to play with
anything else.
Thanks,
John
