Last summer coolant temp was hitting 220 on 105 degree days. Well now on a 86-90 degree day I'm hitting 218 already. It goes down to 195-205 when moving along at 60mph. The transmission is also hitting 225 when it's been running 175 all winter. Also the a/c high pressure cut off engages after taking off from a stop and cycles several times before stabilizing while moving.

All this screams bad fan clutch correct?

So which brand should I order? They all appear to only have a 12 month warranty.
