... On my 02 Kalahari with the 180F Britpart Thermostat, 620-112 fan blade, and Hayden 2991 fan clutch I started off at 198F, then it went to 200F where it sat for a good 10min, then it went to 204F and once again sat there for about 5min. Then it hit 206F and stopped going up. This is with the HVAC on LO/LO, recirculate, and max blower. My stock Bosch 130amp Alternator was sitting at 13.5v as well with all efans on.
On the hottest day last week (35C/95F) and while sitting at a roundabout, I was cringing while watching my temps max out at 206 degrees on my iPod with UltraGauge Blue setup. I have an alarm set on my UltraGauge app to notify me when the temps rise above 205 and it did notify me.

@Discox7 Sorry for the delay, I finally remembered my temp gun today.
After a good long commute picking up the little guy. The A/C Compressor temp was 156 directly behind the Pulley, and 138 further back.
Ambient temp was 86, A/C set to 73 blowing cold, coolant temp hit 206 in heavy traffic, but was around 197 202 most of the way.
Hope that helps.
