[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 875058, member: 16453"] I had a similiar problem towing with a diesel Toyota Landcruiser. The problem was the viscous coupling on the fan, the mechanic identified the problem when he was fitting a turbo on it and loaded it up on the Dyno to check it, I had told him the temp guage came up a fair bit on constant hills, he said that was normal, when I came to pick it up he said you know it does heat up a bit. He fixed the problem by putting a bit of silver solder on the coil behind the coupling keeping the fan in the on position but you could still free wheel it by hand. I believe you can get kits to replace the fluid in them which helps, down the track I ended up putting wedges in it to lock it so it was fixed for peace of mind, it did really help with the cooling, only downside was a small loss of fuel economy. The problem only occurred with the extra load of towing a 2 horse float. Ken [/QUOTE]
