Water pump check out ok? You could try and new a thermostat as well, and if all those seem fine id start looking into the fan clutch assembly.

Mine runs the same. But it only started running like that after about 160k, what's up with that? If something is wrong I can't tell? I have a new radiator, tstat, sending unit. Water pump seems fine.
