Overheating 2nd opinion!

I doubt there is much of that KW stuff in there.
Where do you live? How hot is it outside?
Is the AUX fan coming on at 210?
You should hear an electric fan at 210 degrees.
On my truck, that little aux fan could hold my temps to 210 or less at idle.
The fan clutch is probably needed if it is hot out - summer weather.
The fan should ROAR when you slow down on an exit ramp or such
as the air is HOT from running down the road and then you slow down so the hot fluid makes the air
hot and the fan clutch will "feel" the air and grip harder giving you the fan roar.
I bet though your radiator is simply plugged.
or - your belt is slipping - but I doubt that.
On my truck, I could drop the temps by blasting the heater. I could drop by 5 degrees and roast myself in the process.
I bet for you well
You did the 180 degree T-stat.
I think a new radiator will help.
I put a new radiator in my truck
and a new fan clutch.
All that did not really help until I replace the 180 degree thermostat.
If you are still hearing a sloshing or waterfall sound a bit, then you need to keep bleeding.
