Running hot in Texas,where 100 degree days are common. 84 633 csi. Temp guage is 1/8 from being in red. Any ideas on what the prob is? Have checked and replaced cooolant, fans operating properly,radiator clean, hoses good.... what else to look into??

The first thing i would check is the fan clutch...check to make sure there is alot of drag when the engine is HOT.. if it spins freely with a hot engine the clutch is toast.

Don't replace the radiator! Take it to a radiator shop and have it Roded(sp) out for about $40. If the radiator shop says it's bad then replace it.
