The conditions are: 55-65 mph, 185-190 F, 70-75mph 210 to 220 F. Cools back down when I slow down. Pulled the thermostat yesterday, seems to be ok (180) (stuck it in hot water). I don't know if the electric fan is kicking in. I have to change the fuel pump today, so I'll R&R the radiator and flush the system, see where it takes me.

Update on engine temp
Tore into engine compartment, replaced waterpump, fuel pump, all hoses, had radiator repaired, replaced core support that was badly rusted. Got it back together, put in a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze.
The wife took it out and leaned on it (NEVER tell the wife to lean on it) and it ran at max 210 F with both fans on. Before it was 240F+. At cruising speed it runs 180-190F. Thanks for ya'lls help.
