Gaskets & seals
Get a new thermostat (lots on this board use a 170 stat w/ fan switch TS-85 which closes at 211*)
1 fan or 2?
Unplug the fan connector between cylinders 6 & 8. Use alligator clip to ground the wire to the chassis. Fan should engage. If nothing, suspect relay or fan motor.
You also need to be sure coolant hasn't been leaking into the oil. Change your oil for good measure at the same time maintenance is done.
