If changing just the t-stat changed the fan kick point the was u described, then the old t-stat was not opening properly.
The frequent cycles could be a bad fan-switch with not enough offset. To avoid needless fan use, get a 3 pin 85C switch (~$20) from jim at sobstory.com, and use the 2 pins for 85C. An 88C 2 pin switch should be available in a few weeks.
check townsendimports.com ->documents ->cooling for mod to get both fans to work.
Since gage now drops to 40% when cruising, this implies a healthy radiator.
