I have not had a chance to run it and check with Infrared gun. I am running a 2 blade aluminum fan. The radiator is a new reproduction and the engine was gone through prior to me and has very few miles on it.

It is not leaking... hold coolant level just above the baffle. Sensor is in the top radiator hose. Before I put in the APCO gauge I had driven the truck about 35 miles when I bought it and no sign of overheat. It was a 55 degree day. We shall see what happens as outside temps increase. Since everything is new I do not have much room to play with this potential concern.
