Freightliner replaced the clutch fan.
Cummins has replaced the heat sensor.

first what percent is the grade? what temps are you seeing? is this the ISB engine? What is your weight on this grade? Are you towing as well?
where you still on cruise on the grade?
we need empirical data to maybe give you a shot in the dark
that being said
i run 205 to 210 all the time, I do down shift at steeper grades and take off cruise to keep the rpms in the power band. If this means hitting the top at 40 mph so be it.
