Thanks guys, will bleed it this weekend and change the fan clutch.

Changed the fan clutch, that helped a lot. Will still run a little past half but doesn't go above that.
I think I also identified something else contributing to the problem, wondering if anyone else has seen this. I removed the air box and alternator to gain better access to the fan clutch. The first thing I noticed was that the alternator had a lot of movement. Once I removed it, I found the bottom mounting bushings were shot, so I think the belt (which also runs the water pump) may have been slipping. New bushing and belt on the way, I'll see if that helps at all.
The second thing is the way the lower radiator hose mounts. It kind of gets squished between the air box and alternator and puts a kink in the hose near the thermostat housing. I feel like this might prevent coolant from flowing easily. Has anyone done something different with this hose so it doesn't run between the alternator and air box?Comment
