first and foremost i would change the Tstat and defintly look at the fan clutch .... kenn thanks for that module apparatus.. its all put together and i put it up in the airbox and it seems to be holding its own...but yeah i had temp pronblems and i ended up getting a thicker radiator replacing the fan clutch... if you can spin yours and it moves more than 3 blades its about time to get it done.. once the new one was on i was astounded to how much air got pushed around... make sure the radiator you have is clean of debris and not damaged including mud covering it... is it only hot when idling or alsoon highway??
