Thermostat question

I have a serpentine belt system on it. No room for a shroud. Fan is about 1 1/2 away from the rad. Heats up in town driving. Fine on the road.
No shroud IS a problem, and your issue is a lack of air flow at low speed. A better setup would be a OEM copper radiator with a matching shroud, and the factory style viscous fan assy. JMHO
