On some Cummins 6.7's the fan shroud will actually get sucked into/collapsed into the fan somewhat when it's hot and the engine is working really hard. It has resulted in some catastrophic cooling failures while towing heavy loads.Here are some photos and this area is where it is hitting the fan shroud. Something is torquing in order for the fan to hit the shroud. The fan is hitting the shroud at the 1 - 3 o'clock position on the shroud. I'm going to have to recheck all the bolts everywhere to make sure that they are tight. The radiator does not move at all. The pictures are of two different blades.
I might be way off-base but it's something to consider. Those fans are stouter than people think. They can move some air.
Not aware of any easy solutions if that's your problem. Maybe a new shroud but that would probably be spendy. Maybe some 'farmer engineering' might be in order. Keep the shroud, though. The radiator won't work right without it
