I am ordering a new aluminum radiator.
I don't seem to have a picture of the electric fan that is mounted to the front of the radiator support but it is from a 1994 Buick Lesabre and covers most of the radiator at about 16" diameter. I can feel the wind it makes inside the cab through the holes in the firewall.
The first few days of driving the truck the temperature stayed around 190 but then a pin hole developed high up on the radiator, just below the top tank. On the way home from work it got hot (over 212) but not super hot and I pulled over and added coolant. I thought I had the hole fixed, but after 30 miles driving to work it was back. I replaced the thermostat with a 180 and replaced the water pump with new high volume unit because I wasn't sure of the condition of the one on it. Ever since it runs with the needle just touching the 212 mark on the original gauge.

I'll get a new radiator in it and see if that will cool it back down.
