Sounds like what I was dealing with.. Fan clutch was no good.. put a new on it.. even though i put the cheaper one on and its really aggressive. Problem solved.. even idling in 104 degree Texas Heat and Humidity with AC Running. But yeah.. E-fan.. Wish i COuld.. but that would require a bigger alt to power it and my audio system.. LOL.

Actaully even with the new Fan Clutch the temp still gets near 210 but doesnt go over and above like it was doing.. time for 180 stat to go back in since i know now it is/was never the reason i lost performance.
