Hi everyone. Here is the mystery of my truck. An overhauled was performed by a local shop. Engine runs smooth and everything is great until I turn the AC on. The temperature starts to slowly climb to almost 3/4 of the temp gauge (I turn the AC before getting to the red) But as soon as I turn the AC on it comes back to half and stays there. It has never spilled antifreeze nor has given me the smell of it.
So far, this is what I have done:
Water pump: new
Thermostat: new
Fan clutch: Aisin new (Planning on changing the oil to thicker viscosity as the blue clutch kit)
Electric fan: (turns on when AC is on)
Antifreeze: New
Timing: Checked to Factory spec.
Radiator: 1 yr old, but I still took it to get it flushed.
1.-Has anyone had this problem? if yes, how was it fix?
2.- Can this be a bad temp gauge?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
