Had a lot of the same issues. You have a 2 stage fan and one may not be engaging. Also, my 5.9 only likes high test gas; if I run low grade in it, it will tend to run hot and that makes my trans act up, sometimes losing OD and sputtering like water in gas and wanting to stall at stops. My fan was was gunked up, and worked again after cleaning it up, and both stages worked again. Besides that, my temp issues and trans problems went away once I started running high test gas on a regular basis. I hope that this helps. Let me know.

I also have heard that some of the older Ford Taurus had the same fans; not sure if it's true or not. Good luck with the coolant sensor message; haven't been able to get mine off the board. I heard it's just a glitch in the system and typical of the 5.9. Will a 5.2 fan work?
