Sounds great, please keep me informed as the planning progresses.

Sammy, the real answer(s) will be offered by Bill Jensen of Prevost, but until he gets a chance to jump in here more information is needed. What you did not say were the conditions of driving, outside temp, hills?, speeds, and if this has just happened or have you noticed temps rising over a period of months.
Our engines have two devices that regulate temperatures, the engine thermostat and our DDEC controlled two speed fans. If your fan clutch is the cause there will be several clues. First, if it works intermittently as you describe, and you can pull a hard steep hill under full power and the temps stay 195 to 210 then you can likely rule out a plugged radiator. To go further, lock the fan blade to the clutch with the two 6MM bolts in the end of the fan drive shaft and go for a ride. With the fan locked (always engaged) your temps will cycle with the engine thermostat at between 190 and 195 indicated.
If that happens the culprit is likely the fan clutch or the connections might have some corrosion.
It’s Bill’s turn. He is the expert, but the trouble shooting is not that difficult. DO NOT RUN A HOT ENGINE.
If you need help learning how to lock the fan blad I think I can post some photos. Eveybody needs to know how to do that anyway.

I would like your contact info, Tyler. Next time I’am through Nashville I could go early to get a couple areas addressed by you.
Take Jon up on the offer…free ads are good for the budget !
