If the alloy fins are choked up with roadkill bugs n g-hoppers or bent/dinted the cooling ability reducess. You can spend some time picking them out with some tweezers then give the area a hose out. Give it a flush with a cleaner and fill with new coolant ( penrite consitrate) dilute at 50% for maximum cooling and freezing properties. Even check the thermostat is opening fully.
Forgot to mention anything infront of the radiater blocked with roadkill. Also as the trans cooler is sometimes fitted infront of the a/c condenser and that is infront of the radiater this reduces the cooling, so inshort the hot trans cooler is a big issue....

What about a cooler thermostat? One that opens earlier I forget what the degree ratings were but I’m sure someone like mace engineering will sell them
