Vince;
        Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. If you have
the new switch in hand you can swap them out quickly with very little
loss of coolant. Inspect the surface of the old one that is immersed. I
suspect it has a scaly coating. Consider taking you radiator out and
having it "blasted" out. The inside of you radiator is probably similarly
coated .  At hiway speeds the fan should not be needed to move air across
the cooling fins.

Drive Safely & Good Luck

automatically when the coolant gets too hot that I need a Radiator Fan
Switch.  Does this sound right?  Or is there something else I need to
check?  Any input to this would be greatly appreciated.
