    For sure, does sound like a prick of a TS location, best of luck with it Friday Growler! Rainsey over in the Chev thread reported recently very similar symptoms on his 6.5. Brunswick and him found the viscous fan was the culprit in his situation not fully locking up I believe under load on hills and had them totally baffled for a while.

    Well ive got it back but haven't taken it up a hill yet. Will do that tomorrow. Sssssoooooooooooooooooo. Thermostat was stuck between open and closed WTF???. @MB they also serviced the viscous hub, rekin it wasnt spinning fast enough?? Dont know if theyre having a lend or not. Coz wouldnt it stay cool @ 100k's even without the fan running with the volume of air blowing in. And get hot at the lights without air flow, which was oppsite to my symotoms?? Anyway they tested it and rekon its good now. I'll report back tomorrow

    IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

    Great news Growler, see you at the donk party hopefully! Sounds like you may have scored a double wammy mate, TS & Viscous working together for a complete pain in da :-( I'm not exactly sure how mechanics test the viscous hub at full temp and rpm 100% lock up, timing light and white marker crank versus fan maybe? With Rainsey's issue they supplied a solid van hub to run constant just to prove it was the viscous hub lacking say the last 10% pull I guess.

    I feel your pain mate, try buying a 6.5 Chev/Trol as a rushed heavy haul replacement for your written off 4.2TD but soon after find it was so poorly setup and I'll guide you on how to burn $5k+ real quick getting it work usable :-( Cooling all our modified trucks is a challenge but rewarding when you've nailed it :-)
