What you have is normal for a LLY. I know, I have one. What is happening is normal for all trucks, work the engine on a hot day the fan cools things off.

And worst of all, the fan won’t even hold the temperatures in check on a long hard pull. We bought our 05 because we wanted to buy a trailer like we now have, and knew our 6L gas 2500HD was enough truck. What we got was a truck that couldn’t do the job on a 100 degree day.

We put on of these Ron Davis made auxilery radiators in our truck (the picture is not mine) and have not looked back.
Thanks for your input! Some just don't understand SW heat in summer, brutal.
