If the radiator wasn't able to keep up (slow traffic on hot days)
wouldn't it be better to get the temp reading straight from the heat source (motor) otherwise you just heat soak the radiator and then the fan/fans would have to catch up "so to speak".

I understand what ed-ma61 is saying and in a way he's right, but i believe my theories will be better of in the long run.

my point exactly - if the radiator isnt able to keep up the temp at the BOTTOM tank immediately goes up.

the heat source from the motor is the same all the time - its not like the engine starts making more heat, its that the radiator isnt releasing the heat - and this is what you have to measure and base your switch point on.
