I checked a couple of others. Unless we all have bad fans. They do the same as mine. My dads gasser chevy stops immediately, but all the SD's I checked free wheel just briefly

Torque pro. The dummy gauge on the dash will climb to the top. (Had gotten to the red before I got torque pro so I have no idea of EOT at that time.) But have never boiled over. Would sit for maybe 3 mins and stock gauge would return to mid range. To get the gauge up that high I had to be pulling our 16ft tandem axle scout trailer (lots of old canvas tents and cast iron, have no idea of a weight though.)

Go pick up a mishimoyo radiator for it, unless you want to go with double the cost for OE.... The other aftermarket stuff is junk.

Been fighting a coolant issue on '02 F250 4x4 with 7.3. Truck runs hot when under load (ie towing, or ac running on a hot day going down the road). Will sit and idle all day with ac on high and 100° outside. I hear my fan at cold start as normal but that's the only time I hear it. Still has original water pump, fan clutch and radiator. I know all three could stand to be replaced with 340,000 on it. But can't afford to do it all at once. What are your thoughts?
Btw New to posting, I have always been able to search and find the solution.

ac fins were about 75% flat, water pump squeaking, both pulleys on tensioner squeaking, idler grinding, radiator 90% plugged between fins and about 75% covered with debris. calcium build up internally at about 0.020"

The fan has a clutch attached to it, and it will spin with the engine when running, but will begin to spin MUCH faster when the Temps get to a certain point. Hence the Roaring you get when it's working.

It will not free wheel by hand, you can turn it but with a little resistance . Only freewheeling just after shutdown. Then only a second or two.

Sounds like it's still there....Could be getting weak......But as BigB56 said, 220+ on your EOT is not unusual under load, as long as it doesn't park there and stick. Your not running tunes or anything?
And your stock gage is a Brass turd, as far as accuracy goes. the senders are strictly Go/No Go gizmos and they crap out all the time.

The oil temps will usually drop back down if I back out of it or sit and idle. Fixing to go on a long trip and I'll be really watching it then.
