I don't think its "the" fix but it may be worth a try until you can re-gear or get a E fan setup.

Amazon.com: Royal Purple 01600 Purple Ice Super-Coolant Radiator Additive - 12 oz.: Automotive
I have not considered this but it's something to think about especially if you know you're going to drive in summer heat through desert areas like I did. 117 degrees is crazy hot. I don't know how people in places like Nevada and Arizona handle it. Low 100's sure. 115-120, F that!
