03 reaches 230* on a 70-90mph acceleration

Yeah the only time it gets got is from 70-90 under hard excel empty. Havnt done that loaded. If I ease it gradually from 70-90+ it doesn't over heat. Not does it over heat when towing 5-10k from 0-70mph or cruising interstate 70-75mph. Maybe 210* at the hottest at speed limits. I'm in the process of puling the CAC, rad and Trans cooler to pressure wash. Retourque head bolts and valve lash. New bumper, grill and hood too. Along with a new belt, water pump tstat and flush coolant and add dex cool. It's got 440,000 miles so its prolly needing a little cleaning and change of fluids.
 
I guess it helps to have a clean radiator damn near plugged up in the fins. I guess it's my stupidity in not cleaning the truck good enough. Might as well put some electric Mark IV Lincoln dual fans.
