thermostat
Hi,
The temp should not rise to boiling! You should be able to drive with no fan on at 185 to 195*, put fan on when you slow down. I would replace the thermostat with a 180* one and burp all the air out of system. As for the fan, turn on fan and put a kleenex in front of rad and see if the fan is pulling air through rad or if they wired it reverse. try a 40 amp fuse as the amperage will spike when turned on.

PS; if the fan is blowing air forward instead of through rad the fan motor will labor in the wind and cause higher amperage draw and blow the fuse.
