Thanks everyone for the input. I have been searching the forum for similar topics, and have learned that I need to check/clean the radiators, etc. Though, you'd think my mechanic would have checked all of that when I first took it to him asking him to check out the cooling system.

Thom, to your points:
1. Yes, I've tried this test and both fans come on
2. Yes, I definitely hear the fans run at high speed
3. I thought about this possibility, though this all started before the water pump was replaced. Still, can't hurt to try this.
4. I'm not sure, its only been a day since the water pump was replaced, though the system was pressure-tested about a month prior to that.

Thanks again for everyone's input, I'd appreciate any additional insight.
