My trusted mechanics shop replaced my radiator with a terrible radiator that is not getting the job done, so I placed an order for one of these from Ron Davis today, should be here in 3 weeks.

This year in Moab, ran with full A/C with air temp 94, going really slow on trails - Water temp stayed between 180 - 195, and hit 207 once when climbing slowly.
You'll love it in Houston!!

So my mechanic said he would be willing to install the Ron Davis aluminum radiator and new fan shroud at no cost since I was not happy with the one his guy installed. So I got the first piece of the puzzle. FF Dynamics 16" Extreme Duty radiator cooling fan:

Oh, I thought the FF Dynamics fan was for in front, like a few other owners have done. My bad.
I know what you mean about the redesigned OEM fan clutch and fan blade, as I had to buy them both, and they were spendy. But since I can't do any of this wrenching myself, I want it to last another 12 years.
Merlin told me the redesigned fan blade is supposed to improve air flow, and I think supposed to be quieter too.
Glad you solved your problem too!
AZOutlaw- I was running around PHX all afternoon today, water temp never went above 184. I know it wasn't the hottest day, maybe 100-102 ? But it was all stop and go, and short hops, with full A/C and no problem.

I might eventually look into the new fan and fan clutch from Isuzu, sounds intriguing. Mine sounds like a fighter jet taking off now :-)
