2005 5.9l 4x4 4" lift rickson 19.5 wheels 265/70r tires pacbrake exhaust brake. i am trying to pull a 5th wheel approx. 14,000 lbs fully loaded, it does ok on level but heats up on hills untill lights & bells go off. replaced radiator & thermostat. water pump seems fine but the electric fan has some resistance not a lot but some 1/4 of 360 degrees could this be the cause? or could it be the bigger tires i don't have the originals any more. or could it be the pacbrake restricting the flow, i checked and it is opening all the way. it also has a smarty on it. i have dumped so much money into MY SUPER RAM my ford friends are laughing and my wife ain't she just wants to go on our 2nd honeymoon ! we had to turn back twice now HELP
