I'm having trouble getting temps down to normal. This all started last season and i still haven't been able to figure out this nightmare. Temp at idle will reach 210*, the fans turn on and are pushing/pulling correctly. The only way to get temps down is to turn the heat on full blast along with the rad fans going. That gets the temps down to 200* at best. I've searched the threads for ideas and can't seem to figure it out. My values are being monitored by dsmlink. I've tried keeping the fans turned on and never seem to change the temp. The only thing I can think of is to get another thermostat and double check it with boiling water and possibly drill a hole in it.
things i've tried:
bleeding(burping) the system
verified there was no heat soak from the ex mani
new full size aluminum rad
new rad cap
new thermostat x2
new sensors
new fluid
new water pump
new head gasket
adding fans
switched to a half rad
