You can shoot the IR gun at the radiator.
Recent experience tells me (and I remember many posts saying same). that not all fan clutch’s and thermostat works the same.
I put 4000 mile trip on my coach last summer. Super hot and big mountain climbs. One thing that was rock solid was my engine temp, oem guage and my ebl efi read out. 198-202 entire trip.
Then last sept, it warmed up in town. I first
Tossed a new thermostat in.(went from flowcooler
To a stant). That did not help,
So replaced the fan clutch. (2747 same as before. But now a napa. As the old one was hayden)
So now this summer. 210-212. I am going back to the flowcooler thermostat next chance i get. Some say that should not change my temp, but that is only different factor from last summer. (Always ran 198-202 even before my west coast trip).
You may think of trying a 2797 fan clutch. I had one for a while on old engine. Never seemed to be as bad as some claim. Pretty quick to
Change back and forth on a cold engine.
