Default over heating

Hi all
Well I think the clutch fan is shoot but I don't know it gets hot climbing hills and siting in traffic is it OK to get rid of the fan and run duel electric? Could the t state be bad? I dont know what makes a diesel run hot I'm new to this so any help would be appreciated (or any info on how I can hop up the pump) or ? thanks all

while sitting in traffic it should not get hot, I would think that you have a thermostat problem. Do not buy after-market thermostats, they are junk (from allot of customers who buy from me, tell me this)
There are two types, if you buy the original, it will have a little tab sticking out from the side, you have to align that correctly in the housing or it will not vent correctly, then there is the adjustable kind, they do not have a tab and do not need any aligning for them to work correctly.
