MasterDoes the fan cut in and out or is it the temp cutting in and out? as per your description.
Is resistance felt when pulling the heater control tab from hot to cold? If not check the heater valve in the engine bay (follow the two 1" thick coolant hoses coming from the firewall, a black plastic block is attached to one of them) is being actuated when a friend operates the temperature tab. If heater valve is OK, remove and check cable linkage.
Is your coolant full?Flushing the radiator is the very last avenue to attempt
