To ensure better heat transfer, make sure your radiators are clean and the fins are straight. Consider upgrading to high-flow thermostats and opt for coolant that contains anti-cavitation additives.

The choice of coolant and the state of the radiator are crucial. I’d recommend blowing out the radiators every day in dusty conditions, keeping an eye on the fan belt tension, and don’t forget to clean behind the grille screens, those are often missed. Also, idling down before you shut off the engine can help avoid heat issues.

yeah, I second the comment above, regularly cleaning radiators and other components is important to make sure proper airflow. also check and maintain coolant and oil levels, and seek shade when possible to reduce heat exposure.
don't forget to regularly inspect and maintain cooling system parts like hoses, belts, and fans
