I assume the engine temp should read a little higher than the coolant exit temp if the radiator is cooling a little.

One odd thing. Other day I drove it a few mins up to temp and all was fine but the next AM the coolant hoses had sucked in on themselves. Some said it’s a bad rad cap. Replaced it with a different but same spec cap.

That mean anything?

Yes, hose(s) sucked in is an indication radiator cap is malfunctioning which results in a coolant circulation problem. Are you sure the other cap is the same?
