highway speed. The coolant temperature will work its way up to about
195-205, and the fan will kick in, dropping it back down to 180 (the
thermostat rating) in 20 or 30 seconds (yes, the stock fan is that
effective). Before anyone asks, my cooling system is tip-top, including an
aluminum radiator and a good mechanical gauge.
Do I understand this correctly? That the fan clutch engages after the steep climb is over and the vehicle is either going downhill or on level ground.

Mine does this also. Always has. Drives me nuts.
