1. Assuming this is a rear radiator, clean the FRONT of the cooling package (the front of the CAC). This needs to be done annually. It is done from the bedroom/closet access door. A clogged front of the CAC WILL overhead!
2. Use the down arrow to select a gear where you are about 200 RPM below governed AND, repeat AND, where you have a little throttle left (are not at WOT). If flooring the throttle makes no difference select a lower gear. Reality is that a loaded 18 wheeler will be slower than you, so no worries about traffic.
What to do as emergency moves if you are overheating:
1. Pull over and with transmission in Neutral, run engine at 1500 RPM or so until it cools down (yes, this assumes that you have not lost your coolant).
2. Turn on the dash heater and fan to high. The dash heater is another "radiator". Better to have you uncomfortable for a few minutes that really uncomfortable paying a large repair bill.
