Re: Could my AC be overheating my truck?

I should note that I run dual electric puller fans with a full shroud on a fully welded BeCool 2-row aluminum radiator. I also ditched my heat generating auto tranny for a manual. With Vintage Air A/C running, sitting in southern California traffic, or pulling a mountain grade, temps never get over 195 degrees.

I would tend to agree that seeing temps into the low 200's while running the A/C, with all of the stock cooling gear in place, isn't out of the ordinary, and isn't particularly harmful to the engine. That's just the price to pay for staying true to the stock equipment.
