the fan switch is at the cool end of the rad. The gage reads the hottest coolant in the cylinder head. A lot can occur between these two items.
In the winter, natural free cooling of the rad will result in the gage reading higher, mabe 3/4 to 7/8, before fans come on. If t-stat is sluggish, it also will contribute to irratic fan kick on points. 7/8 on gage is still 'green', and is ok as long as it doesn't get any higher.
************
For more consistent cooling, remove the ac kick out switch in the upper rad hose (just don't run ac when gage is up to red!), and install a standard 92C fan switch and gasket there, and run extension wires there to reach it (16 ga for models thru 89). Fans will always come on at 2/3 max. One will come on after shutdown more, and help cool off the turbo and all else under the hood.
