Hi I had the same issue on my 05 crescendo with the cat c7 350 horse. Slowed down ,no power spider and lots of smoke.
THERE IS A WIRE CONECTOR UNDER THE ENGINE CLOSET THE TRANSMISSION IS LIKE A BLACK ROUND TWIST KIND CONECTOR. IT WAS LOOSE BUT CONECTE ENOUGH ,THAT WAS CREATING THE ISSUES. I JUST TIGHTEN IT AND PUT A BIT OF SILICON. TO MAKE SURE VIBRATION WON'T MAKE IT LIKE AGAIN. AND PROBLEM SOLVED. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU WASH AND CLEAN YOUR RADIATOR BECAUSE IT GET FULL OF STUFF FROM THE ROAD AND THE OIL AND CLUFS IT UP A BIT AND THAT CAUSES A BIT OF OVER HEATING.
USE ANY KING OF DEGREASER TO HELP.
