We live 17 miles apart if you ever need any help.
The first time I realized I might have an issue was in 2020 climbing a hill out of Canon City Colorado.  With the help of Richard and Tom, I finished the trip. When I returned home I replaced the aftermarket regulator (CAT terminology) with the recommended CAT regulator 190°-210°, flushed the system with CAT cooling system cleaner, replaced coolant with CAT ELC, and cleaned the radiator and CAC as best I could. I clean the stack routinely now, Dawn HD and SimpleGreen for Aircraft. 

I also found out the C-13’s ECM was never programmed to control the hydraulic fan solenoid, the fan had been running on high its entire existence. I now have the ECM programmed properly and have installed a thermal switch in the coolant system to turn the fan on high at 210° vs the CAT ECM preprogrammed temp of 217°. Try to get ahead of it. 

I’ve asked Newell about replacing the radiator but I thought a last swing at cleaning it would be a good idea. The radiator needs to come out, disassembled, measured for a new core. Three or four week process conservatively. Newell can’t have it sit at the factory that long. 

Now I know the stack is a ICS system (Industrial Cooling System, Milwaukee Wisconsin).

We need to get together!
