2001 cummins running hot
my 01 cummins is running hot when I tow up hill. My waste gate has been stuck in the past but I freed it up and it is still doing it. Any suggestions?

Probably one of the following:
1. Thermostat
2. Thermal fan clutch
3. Dirty radiator (oil mist/dirt between front of radiator and back of intercooler)
If it's an automatic, there's every chance that you're pulling the grade with an unlocked torque converter. If that's the case, the HOT transmission fluid will heat up the engine coolant. It would help us analyze your problem if you'd complete your signature so that we'd know some details about your truck.

I've removed and cleaned three radiators in the last month for the cores being plugged up externally from the beloved oil catch container that they so cleverly put right in the fan wash. Best to remove the radiator and degrease it.....and relocate that bottle.
