I agree, man, we're just trying to help you figure this beast out. While I don't believe you will hurt anything running 210-225F (my Jeep is redlined at 260F!!!) if you're running a 180F stat something's wrong. Are you dead sure that your water pump is good, and that the impeller is not loose or damaged? It really sounds like a low coolant flow problem to me if you are indeed running that hot at speed on the open road. The fan shroud & fan help you when you're stopped or moving too slow to force air through the radiator, not on the open road. I'm leaning to a water pump problem, or air trapped in the system - just having it apart does not ensure the system is filled. If it's got a point to trap air the air bubble can impede your coolant flow. Hard to tell without laying eyes on your system layout, or pictures.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
