The clutch fan has been replaced, and the dealer is now throwing their hands up in the air. Has anyone noticed any bad thermostats coming out of the factory? Or does the H3 have really bad airflow to where I have to add a pusher fan to the outside radiator area?
TIA,

The T-stat shouldn't have anything to do with it running hot under the circumstances you described unless it's very restrictive. It doesn't sound like a "sticky T-stat" situation. Meaning, you could probably remove the T-stat completely and still experience your overheating, as described.
Auto or stick? Any aftermarket add-ons that could cause airflow restriction?
Doesn't the H3 have an oil cooler? Where is it and what does the oil look like now?
