I give up

I would fire it up and let it start to get warm then carefully feel the radiator in different spots all around. If one spot is much cooler than the rest then you know you will need a new radiator. Also while you are there use a chunk of cardboard to make sure the new fan clutch is pulling good.

Ditto on the cardboard or newspaper test. Also, the touch free infared thermometers mentioned above will help a lot when checking the radiator for hot/cool ares indicating plugged up rows. I had the same issue with my 94 5.9 ram. Radiator solved it.
