Can you describe the overheating issue? What temperature does it get up to, and under what circumstances?

I totally agree. The kicker is that a new fan clutch probably won't solve the problem. The clutch starts turning the fan when the hot air flowing through the radiator causes a bimetalic spring to bend and port fluid inside the clutch. If the radiator tubes are restricted, the clutch doesn't sense any heat, so it doesn't make the fan turn.
