If your problems are worse at the lower speeds, the changine the fan clutch would probabbly help that condition. If your still having problems at highway speeds and you have verified that the system is fulll of coolant, then you would be looking at a radiator.

Reply to Hammer Time's Post: I had the radiator replaced about 2 years ago, I don't think that is the problem. How do I check to be sure it ccould be the fan clutch?
