My radiator is the original Harrison 4 core. It's in great shape but I'm starting to wonder if have it 'rodded' out would help. The problem is finding a radiator shop that can still do that.

The electric fans shouldn’t be coming on at highway speeds . Mine never do so with this bit more info I would say the radiator needs attention . Your fan right now being it’s not a clutch fan is “on” 100 percent of the time .
Not easy finding a radiator shop these days as with all the competition of aftermarket items and the EPA guidelines most shops closed their doors .
