The Green Lantern

Sorry I haven't posted or updated, been trying to get it to read hotter than normal again. It's been cooler weather and today it was a bit hotter and started to warm up. Plugged my tuner in(which does real time logging) I didnt know it did that but the gauge was about 3/4 hot and the tuner read 184* at its highest, i have a 170 thermostat.

Got home and let the car just sit there and run. The fan didn't turn on at all, then i turned the a/c on and the fan kicked on, turned the a/c off and fan stayed on and temp dropped down to 174*

What is going on!?!? Is it just my radiator is bad?

Radiator is simply a cooling reservoir, the fan cools it, thermostat and water pump are responsible for c cycling it.
