Answered in your other thread. But no, a fan clutch *typically* causes overheating around town, but cool on the highway.
Bad T-stat (new does not mean GOOD) or radiator clogging are more likely suspects, especially if anyone has ever put "stop leak" (AKA radiator/heater core stop-up) into the system.
