Now, you drove and was like... wow the fan comes on late. You went inside, ate dinner and came back two hours later when the engine has coolaned a good 40 degrees. You turned the thermalstat back down to where it clicked again, mind you-- now with cooler coolant.

Its not a piece of **** equipment (well it might not be anyhow) but more how you set it. If you set it when the engine was warm, backed it down a bit, you should be fine.
