Default 94 TA temp issues

94 trans am gets hot at highway speeds instantly cools at idle. My 94 ta gets hot at highway speeds but cools at idle just got it back on the road after buying in December never overheated but gets close I believe one fan is spinning but other one doesn’t as far as I know. Wondering if someone has any ideas. Thank you for your time. Lt1 with a 4l60e

The first thing I would check for are items restricting air flow over the radiator. Bird or squirrel plastered across the front of it, etc.

Fan problems usually come up at idle and in really hot temperatures. For normal driving, regular air flow over the radiator should keep you in good shape.

My prediction is a collapsed lower radiator hose that only happens at the higher highway RPM's. This would be secondary to a clogged radiator.
