The Electric fan should ONLY come on when the vehicle gets too warm from extra stress (WOT, long climbs, towing, etc). The vehicle should definetly get one, but it doesn't sound like this IS THE issue for overheating.

fan clutches can fail in several different ways and usually over time the spring gets weak which means it won't draw as much air at idle (or any other time) which can have a significant impact on cooling of the system throughout the RPM range.

I agree, he did mention it was while in low and doing hill climbs not that it was all the time.
I just hate for people to start throwing money at dual fan's and such for no reason. He should definitely diagnose his problem then if needed for extra cooling add stuff.
