Radiator & CAC cleaning near Salt Lake City

Question

I have a 2004 Tiffin Phaeton that is running hot in mountain driving.  I'm not losing any fluid, therefore, I'm thinking that the radiator and charge air cooler are dirty.  I have a CAT C-7 which was slightly over filled when I had the oil changed last March. The last time I was in the west, I had the same problem with running hot in the mountains. It was fixed by having the cac cleaned.  Anyway, I'm looking for a good place to have the radiator and cac cleaned well in Salt Lake City.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just checking.  Are you ascending in a lower gear and keeping RPMs up?

It was not in LasVegas but i had my radiator cleaned at a cat service place and my traveling buddy had his cleaned at a freightliner facility. The Cat service used steam pressure. Don't remember what freightliner did but said if they could not get it clean they would have to take remove radiator. They got it clean without removing it.

Check with any large truck maintenance shop. They often have steam cleaners that should do the job.
