When the engine was hot did you hear the clutch fan kick in? (Airplane sound) if not, the clutch fan is not good and needs replacement here is how to change the parts out and this guide can help as well. Make sure you use a high-quality replacement, (name brand).
Yeah, it was the thermostat we are going to get a new radiator and all good Cummins parts for good measure.
