We also had that warmer-then-normal problem. Turned out (after hard work goign through the cooling system) that the rad was blocked from years of crap banging into it. Unfortunately, the 2.6's rad is tough to remove, but we did and cleared it out. Problem solved.

This might be my problem. I'll try to get a radiator flush right away. As far as my oil pressure, I think it is the sending unit and nothing else. Why? Because my car runs fine and I've been driving for a week. If zero oil pressure, my car wouldn't be running this good. Am I right?
Well, I haven't heard any opinions on why the fan isn't engaging? I know it is probably one of the sensors. But which one? The fan usually engages at 100C.
