I doubt it's your overheating problem.
Make sure your thermo is working correctly, stick it in a pot and heat it up. See what temp it opens up at.
It wouldn't hurt to flush the radiator either. Check the radiator cap.
And lastly a lot of people lately have been having Fan relays going out, check that out as well.

Have you changed the HG or anything?
Its kinda off-the-wall question, but if you changed the thermo 3 times, i really dont think thats your problem lol.

I'm 99% sure that if the d15 vx and the d16 had differen't operating temps it would only be 10-15 degrees. Not significant.
Not sure what to tell you.
