Wazoo replaced my plugged original radiator last year and put in a new DeWitts but I still saw the temps in the 235-240 range when I hit DC/Northern VA traffic. I was crawling along for almost 2 hours with fuel on reserve so keeping RPM's up was not an option. Now looking at possibility of DeWitts new fan box with two 11" Spal electric fans. Traffic is not getting any better and very stressful watching the temp gauge going up when stopped and then back down to 190-195 when moving.
