Mine did same thing. Turned out the fan motor was not kicking off and on. Replacing it was pricey in my open. I noticed threads for a clutch fan. I went to a junk yard and got a clutch fan for $10 and threaded it on and it runs nonstop to cool engine. Problem solved without paying an arm and leg! But mine is a 2001, yours may or may not have the option to add clutch fan but certainly worth looking
