Message	I believe this is due to the fan clutch being on its way out. Not 100% sure though. I've changed the fluid, made sure my cap worked, checked all the tubes. My other theory is that something is happening that causes restriction of water flow. Thermostat was also replaced. Oh, and its only when its above 85 degrees outside. "Soap and a shop broom?
