2002 5.9L overheat
In normal driving, my temp gauge points in the middle. When driving in very hot weather in heavy traffic with lots of idling, the gauge climbs into the red. Is this normal or is there some issue with the cooling system that needs maintenance? The fan clutch works as I can spin the fan by hand when the engine is shut down. Any ideas?

and that might just be your problem, the clutch fan might be bad. if you can spin it with your hand that just means its not locked up.. my guess would be that the fan isnt engaging when the motor heats up.
