Overheating 3208 in a 90SP36

[davidkerryedwards]

As someone posted earlier, turning on the winter switch and aux pump,
making sure all gate valves are open, turning on the chassis heat and
all the fans will add a significant amount of cooling capacity. It'll
probably cook the people in the coach but for a few steep hills, it's
a simple solution that requires no modifications.
