Allen all that comes to mind is that mabe a bad gauge, use a gauge that you can put into the top of the raditor and check the temp . there and also check the cap to make sure that it is holding pressure and you say that the air flow is good and no blocked fins also leaking compression into the cooling sysetem will do the same thing due to a leaking head gskt , a leaking injector tube and still never put water in the oil . I had a cracked injector tube on my old semi that drove me nuts as the only time that the temp went up is when i was realy running it hard and it would go up to about 205 to 210 and as soon as the shutters opened it would come down for the longest time i just thought that it was something to do with the shutters and one day i was installing new hopped up injectors and while i was cleaning out the injector tubes i had them all shined up and was looking down in #3 and there was this squiggly line from the bottom up the side about half way pulled that head and it had to be on #2 head where ya had to pull the intake and exhaust and intake off to get to it took it up to a buddys and we pressure tested it and low and behold it was cracked knocked that tube out and rolled a new one in and no more up and down temp.gauge . You may find that you will have to pull the head and have it planed down .010 and put a new head gskt on . to cure it.
