sounds like its running a bit hot. i had my cooling system checked on my 3sgte and the thermo fan would switch on at 92-94degrees and switch off after 35secs down to 84degrees. this was done with the radiator cap off and a thermometer in it...

where do you have the gauge sender pluged into. is it electrical or mechanical...might just have the gauge in a hot part of the engine..should always be as close as possible to the tempsender..

70 to 78 thats bullshit
what is yr thermostat openin at
most themrostats open at 82 deg
so yr thermostat would be openin closing openin closing
in theory the thermo fan should turn off at just sabove the temp of thermostat
so turn on at about 87 to 90 then turn off at about 84
