He mentioned that he was in Mexico
Likely was at a Border Xing

If he was at either the Tijuana/San Ysidro or Otay Mesa Crossing,
The waiting time to cross could be as much as 2 plus hours of idling.
If he was crossing at Tecate or Calexico crossing, the wait time is fairly short.

this is an image from 2017, there are 2 or 3 times as many vehicles legally crossing into the USA today

Traffic is so Slow xing into the USA, that another International Crossing is being built.

So Dutra - did you ever get this figured out or is the pickup still overheating?
Sorry just now seen this. 100% was the fan clutch. Replaced the clutch and all is fixed, for now.

2 hours lol that is the quickest. More like 3-4 hours. Don’t get me started on the Sentri pass, im pending 560 days since I applied. I still cross in the Sentri lane and play dumb. I get pulled into secondary and get chewed out but save 2 hours.
