    A few OE parts from fancy trucks
    debris on front of condensor, debris between condensor and radiator, clogging radiator.

    My money is on a failing radiator as the higher RPM forces the flow to be faster.

    When was it last serviced?

    If it is restricted, a flush and fill 'might' be the cure, but on an older unit there is also a high risk of creating a leak.

    Proceed with caution. Overheating is definitely something you don't want.
