The engine is cooling great. I modded the clutch and did the temperature tuning per @landmarks direction. It's the AC that stinks. I have all new, properly tensioned belts. The dealer charged the system last and it was fine in the shop. I have a new parallel flow condenser on the way. It should make a good sized improvement. I'd love to have 2 fans on the condenser but may not need both in the future. I can't fit any pullers, just pushers. I have a 150A Sequoia alternator so current draw issues are a thing of the past. That's what made me start looking into cramming another fan in between the trans cooler and condenser.I know you are chasing a problem and have replaced your fan clutch. But have you swapped the oil out for heavier?
I got the blue clutch, swapped out the stock 3k oil with 15k oil and advanced the engagement by maybe 1mm. This DIDN'T solve my cooling issue.... But you know what did?
FAN BELTS
The belts looked OK but they were slipping. Once I replaced them with OEM new ones and properly tensioned them the rig cooled down so well that it was actually cooling from 185 to 178 on a 10 mile climb up to 10,000 ft fully loaded at full throttle.
Check your belts.
