sound like it's getting there.
idle test: let temp get hi enough to trip fan switch (oem is 200F, usually either work right or not at all). As soon as fans come on, put a drop or 2 of water on the metal spool in upper hose. If it slowly vaporises, then rad not real bad. If it bils violently, rad is quite plugged.
gage should be 2/3 at fan kick, with oem switch. 3/4-7/8 in summer usually means bad rad (or t-stat).
