Also a noise that I havent noted yet is when it does get hot it starts to sound like an airplane. This always happens at 210 degrees and up. If I remember right my Tstat is set for 185.

I noticed earlier when I looked under the hood of my car that the return hose to the radiator was flat and as soon as opened the radiator cap it returned to normal. Is there a reason for that?

I appreciate all this help, its saving me a lot of money, by now I would have popped a new WP on and called it good until I realized something else was wrong.

**EDIT**
I just went out to test the fan and at first if I were to grab a blade and flick it, it would go about 1/8th of a turn and it would stop. After some working with it, it 'loosened' and started to spin with ease in either direction.
