mate , lock up the clutch fan and take it for a drive..

put a bit of flat ratchet strap material behind the hub around the fan blade snd bac kand tighten the 4 10mm bolts up on the fan hub to hold the straps between the two bits of metal.. this way your fan is locked up 100% of the time, id put money on that being the issue. as my bundy 2.4 TD got hot on the freeway but not idling or offorad unless it was a hot day, locked the fan up and all good. (after water pump thermostat, radiator etc. etc and still having issues.)
