I don't know what temps you are seeing, but I have a 450hp Cummins, rear radiator, and was having some overheating issues on hills. Freightliner told me I need to run at peak horsepower, around 1700 rpm minimum, and to downshift to keep the RPM's up, engaging the fans and water pump at a higher rate. I was typically running at 1500 rpm and not shifting.
Following their recommendations, I have not seen the issue. I will still get a bit of temp spike on a long grade but it goes down when the thermostats open and fans cool. My normal cruising temps are around 180 on the engine and 170 on the transmission.
I have seen posts about issues with side radiators, but someone else with that configuration would have to tell you about that. If your radiator is good and clean and your coolant is at the correct level in the correct mix, the engine speed may be an issue.
