The aux. fan is going to be on if your a/c is on, especially in phoenix.

If you are sitting in traffic it's pretty hard to get the air to move across the radiator.

Try using Mercedes Benz coolant with distilled water. Is your water pump, thermostat, radiator, radiator cap in good shape?

Consider a new radiator, etc, or a custom one made, and possibly a new fan/fan clutch.

Take off your belly pans (the covers under the car) off, that will get some more air moving around, but consequently the engine compartment will get dirty.

How how was it today 108 degrees F outside, and you are running 110 degrees C on the water?

Hope this helps.
