Re: Could my AC be overheating my truck?
Sounds like your AC is overheating your cooling system.
If you're not seeing a rise in vent temp at idle over time, the condenser has good flow, which means all the heat is being pushed/pulled through your radiator. Add the load from the pump and you've got all the potential for a problem.
Have you checked your clutch fan under heat/load? When it heats up past it's 'target or engagement' temp, it's supposed to become rigid and pull more air.
When it gets to 200+, just kill the motor and watch the fan. If it doesn't stop real fast with the engine, you need a different clutch.
