Well just know that the coolant temp it's reading is a guesstimate based off the head temp sensor

You need a tuner to change the fan turn on points. This has nothing
to do with over-heating fixes.

If you are over-heating, and you think it's fan related, turn the A/C on, and the fan
should come on. Plus, you can hear these fans running... If your fan is on,
and still overheating, then t-stat or pump, and sometimes an air pocket. Heater
core is on a bypass, so even if it clogged, you still have coolant running
through the motor.
