Peter; First I would try to determine if it is really running hotter or is it a false gauge reading. What happens when you turn the heater on full blast? If the needle drops to normal I would say your radiator is probably running very inefficiently. When you removed the original fan temp switch, did the sensor part have a white film over it? If so, the interior of the radiator did too. I have had to blast out the radiators on both my crew cab and my wife's GL.
