Asphalt direct temps here in Las Vegas goes upwards of 165°F and that is a big contributing factor of the radiant heat.

Reporting back after 100+ degree days. Vehicle runs cooler than it did pre clutch fan drain with 30k cst fluid. Highway driving in the summer the ECTs are 189-191 with no vehicles directly in front of me. Went through a busy drive thru and temps started creeping up more slowly than usual ~205 degrees until I set it in park and accelerated a bit to get the fan moving. Transmission temp was up ~200 degrees. Accelerating drops the temps for both ECT and Transmission. Once I start driving again the temps drop quickly. Noticeable difference in HVAC temp.

No issues in colder weather but this heat is brutal.

This sounds very normal to me, given the outside temperatures we’ve all been experiencing. I’ve seen similar in my 2000 over the last couple weeks.
