Thanks for the input. Just an FYI, my 2002 Crew would hit 210 most of the time so I don't think it will ever go much below that at that high of outside temps.
With the info I got here, I'm not planning on touching anything right now, I will live with the noisey clutch fan(people look when they here it! Cool).

Cheers,
Con
