In terms of my mind being made up, I just want proof, not "Mine's never overheated so....".

I've watched the temp gauge bounce, which is from the cavitation,etc like you say, but it will average at the numbers I say. I've also seen the temp gauge bounce due to wind being front, back, or side.

It freezes where I live, and I don't have time to drain, refill, drain, refill with different coolants depending on where I want to drive or what weather pattern is coming.

I literally posted a link that shows that a 4 blade fan pulls more air. Is the study wrong? Is there a different study that shows different?

When pulling a hill, the engine RPM is high, but ground speed is low, well below 35 mph. The 4/6 blade fan would be better right?

Would a shroud be more effective than a multi blade fan?

Water flow capacity through the radiator is not the same as heat disappation.
