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.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
