Update - Thermostat and radiator service, with 6,000 pound in tow.

Sounds like you did the right thing replacing all of those parts.
That's what I did on mine too. Plus new water pump & new rad core
(increased cooling capacity 15%). When it warms up some, will take it
out on I90 to see what it runs at now.
