I am losing my mind. My girlfriend has a 07 Isuzu Rodeo that runs hot at speed and up hill (3/4-7/8 on the gauge it is a four cylinder). The problem is somewhat intermitent in that it does not always do this, but usually. I have replaced the thermostat, the radiator cap, the clutch fan checks out ok, there is no weeping at the water pump and the bearings seem tight, the belts are tight.

Also note that this problem started over the winter, though our winters are not hard.
