After my 90k service, I'm finding that the old girl struggles a bit with temp... Flushed the cooling system and replaced with good quality coolant, still no joy... Off to Mitsu on monday...

V6 dual cab 135,000km same deal. Gets hot up hills. Tried thermostat but no joy. Next will try system flush then the viscous fan coupling.
