If I understand you right. . . . You are saying the temp goes up around 200*?

Is that a factory, quality, Rad? Or is it the lowest price got the bid? Who made it and where was it made?

If this just started with the rad replacement, then guess what is the cause? I assume there is no blockage in the front

did you flush out the block?

A thermostat can start to wonder around. However our diesels (hi hp expecially) can raise the temperatures up 20 degrees by just giving it a hard blip of the throttle because of the combustion process
