With the exception of a coastal highway it gets very hot in the part of the country you are planning to travel. A proven vehicle cooling system is a must, for example, do you know that your fan clutch works properly?
I wouldn't know. Was planning to get the dealership to do a once over before we go. I'll make a note of that.
Typically the fan clutch cuts in (making a loud roar) when the engine coolant gets hot. The coolant temperature then drops very rapidly. When the coolant temperature drops to a normal level the fan clutch cuts out. If the hot conditions persist the coolant temperature will slowly rise again and the fan clutch cycle is repeated.
