Everything up front is stock. The shrouds are all in place. Maybe upgrade to a Delco clutch and replace the radiator will do it for me. I’ll try those for sure. The radiator is literally the only thing I have not replaced so it appears that could be the culprit but I’d feel better if I upgraded the clutch as well.. I’ve read a lot about aftermarket clutches not pulling enough air, even being replaced multiple times with sub par results. Thanks again buddy

Well it says 195 normally and it slowly makes its way to 235 but I haven’t let it get over that.. I’m sitting in it right now with the ac on and the hood up.. it’s sitting at 195. When I had it flushed, the clear hose on the machine had a steady solid flow of coolant coming out and the tech said in his experience if there is a clog then it will be a “half full” or “less than full” hose. I don’t know the guy and can’t say he knows shit for sure so I guess this weekend I’ll replace the radiator. I was also considering installing an AC Delco fan clutch since I’ve changed it twice and still having an issue. I happened to have read somewhere that they replaced an after market clutch with a delco and that fixed their issue.. Heck I appreciate the help bud. Radiator and hoses this week I guess.. question, if the radiator is clogged, why when I open the hood it cools back down?

Anyone figure anything out with this issue? My truck (same truck) is struggling in this Kansas heat.. Hell its not even hot really.. I work on a pipeline so I’m in my truck a great deal of the day with the A/C on at an idle. I’ve replaced the fan clutch twice, water pump, thermostat, had the cooling system flushed, cleaned the condenser with oven cleaner and pressure washed it out.. If I lift the hood it’ll cool right back down or if I get the rpms up to 1500+ it’ll cool down.. No other issues at all.. I would put the electric fans and larger radiator in it but I don’t have anyone to tune the computer for the fans. I’m beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out.. I’m new here by the way so if I step out of line or repeat myself just let me know. Thanks
