I've been read up on the fan clutch mod and everyone notes how their fans just roar when they first turn on the vehicle. my fan used to roar to life as well, but recently I also noticed how much quieter it became. I didn't think to replace it because I actually liked the quieter sound. I guess I'll go with a new clutch first.Buy the new clutch on Amazon along with 20k cst fluid and do the mod yourself. Easy to do and way cheaper. If you have the money, I would buy a new radiator and cap as well.
RPM's are definitely your friend here. In warm temps I drive slower up the mountains with high RPM'S, 3.5-4K. It lowers the load on the motor and transmission, pumps the coolant faster with the pump and spins the fan faster. Doing this with 20k fluid, I sit at 184-189° on a hwy climb.
