Re: Cooling
Paul, what energises the indicator lights you have for your fans ?
I am guessing it is the voltage to the fan ?
Unless you have an airflow switch mounted infront or behind the fan then you would not be measuring the fan actually operating, just being switched.
If the fan motor is faulty like mine was then voltage would be no indication of it running at all.
There is a diagnostic in the Electronic Service Manual you can do with a 150 Ohm resistor in the temp sensor plug which will make the fans work at high speed for you to check.

Re: Cooling
1500kg tow weight doubles the weight the engine needs to pull around and although less than the 2000kg max tow weight, which is really just a structural limit, it is still quite a bit and a 3lt V6 Magna does have a bit more power I'm guessing too.
Extremes of power requirements, ambient temps and slow speeds will always stretch the limits of design and as such being out of "normal" operating conditions there should be some protection events triggering to stop damage from occuring.
The thing to note would be at what ambient temp all those things of aircon, towing, speed and CC will not cause the temp to rise so that you can know the limit.
