So i ended up running the AEV supplied rad until a few days ago as the leak is getting a bit worse and decided to swap in a new Mishimoto V2 hemi rad with new hoses, clamps,tstat,coolant. So far so good but noticing something strange. As the engine warms up, the tstat opens around 95C, hoses get hot then around 100C the cooling fan comes on low speed and pretty much stays on low speed constantly and i can watch the coolant temp being maintained at 97-99C but doesnt seem to drop below that. Im quite certain this was not the case when i had the old rad in there. Wondering if anyone has any ideas?
Thanks

Second guessing myself now. Put the old aev rad back in and fan behaviour is the same. I think just change of season and not really ever noticing or paying attention to how often the fan runs got me off guard.

I would say so long as that temp stays bang on the mark then don't worry. My stock rad with the 5.3LT going over North Fork and Racehorse in 33*C days 2 years ago stayed absolutely normal temps. Fan started revving at about 50% near the top of racehorse with the crawling but cooled down quick over the top with no temp rise on the needle.
