A lot of the time it's the viscous hub on the fan assembly. Can you here the fan working when it's hot? Mine got warm on long climbs etc. I put a new hub on it & lasted about 12 months. I only bought a cheap after market one $120 from memory. Mine got to the top of the gauge pulling up the rocks the other day towing another GQ on my car trailer. Couldn't hear the fan at all. Going genuine this time $383.
