New radiator is running colder

Something lost in translation there my friend....

Butt injury!!

I guess so.... Thats when you try to sound like a cool bro with a cheap German school english...

Ok, i hope you get the picture out of your mind..

It made me laugh so it is all well. I needed a laugh today

This seems to imply that one can use this supplemental hose clamp to 'calibrate' the temperature at which one would prefer their truck to operate ... ?

It can let you know if any restriction of the hose makes a temp difference. How you use it after that is up to you.

Don't assume that the cluster gauge is linear or absolutely accurate -- it's designed to sit about in the middle of the gauge when the temp is normal, but the readings aren't absolute.

This is a well-documented issue with some aftermarket radiators. Lack of the restriction orifice in the fitting for the small return hose (to the surge tank) is common, and can cause over-cooling.

First of all, verify the coolant temp with a scanner reading live data.

Secondly, if it's running too cold, see this link and view the thread that's embedded in that post.

p0128 Engine temp below thermostat temperature/ strange O2 sensor values

Many replacement radiators are MISSING the restrictive fitting, which will cause the flow to be too great, preventing the engine from reaching the correct temperature. I am curious, but I don’t believe OP mentioned whether this had been replaced recently, or for how long he’s had this problem...

Mine always runs at 210. Haven't put it on a scan tool tho

On the hose which runs from the top of the radiator to the overflow tank needs a nozzle in it to slow the flow. You can see the coolant flowing thru the tank. I used a 1/4 inch plastic cap off of a roll of copper tubing, drill a 3/32 hole in it. The flow to the overflow tank slowed down and temperature returned to normal.

Same results as if you used a small hose clamp that you could adjust as needed to make the flow in the hose smaller.

I would do that first. I searched my ass wound to find the problem and at least it was corrosion in the connector of the temperature sensor, which leads into a to low displayed temperature

see:

Oh, well in that case, ignore my ramblings. Back to our regularly scheduled program....

I finally had a chance to replace the temperature sensor. There was no corrosion on the connecters. I put in a new Duralast Gold sensor. The problem is solved. Either it was a coincidence that the old one failed at the same time or loosing all of the coolant over a minute or two took it out. Either way, it was a cheap and easy fix.

So it was worth that i: searched my ass wound.,.
