Nothing against you for suggesting the "list".
And no, I did NOT make it a sticky, there are powers above me that I have no control over.
Most of it is a good jumping off point, but not all of it.

She has fresh oil and filter, radiator flush, new thermostat and coolant and so far so good but it is about 20° cooler than it has been. I still have the stock fan in a box. I'll post a picture of the elec fan set up that is in there currently later. There is another brand new elec fan set up in a box too. He had 2 alternators, a stater, radiator, unused airbags, a gauge cluster, stock radio, a ECM, fan, new wood, driveshaft, new bearings, new engine mounts, new bushings and other misc parts. Everything I'd need but a power steering pump...the only thing that is leaking....so far.

It could just be a PS hose leaking. Check right at the pump. Mine did leak where one of the hoses connected to the pump. My electric fan - the stock one - comes on whenever the A/C is on, just FYI. Another FYI, FWIW, I had a Triumph once that I put an electric fan on just for giggles and all the claimed benefits. I ended up taking it off and going back to the stock clutch fan. The reason was that I didn't like to see the temperature going up and then going down when the fans kicked in. It may be no big deal, but my eyes got glued to the temp gauge like those people who bought opti-grabs in the Jerk movie. ;^)
