running HOT, problem???
was driving the truck the other day , it was hot (like SoCal is in summer), highway driving, stop and go speed up, slow down etc (like SoCal is all the time), then i noticed the AC would cycle and get warmer, meanwhile i also noticed the temp guage was climbing and the check gauge light was on (the temp guage is usually about 1/2 but was at or maybe above 3/4 this time). the truck was running fine, i looked and there is plenty of coolant. it never did this before, or since. however the next day the AC would cycle warm again for a bit, but the temp gauge stayed normal. drove yesterday down the beach and the day before, no problem. any ideas???

wera racer,
Follow ozx3+1 advice, if it is not that it could be a bad Visconic Fan Clutch. Check the simple stuff first and if that does not do it take it in and let the tech check the fan.
I live in Phoenix and i don't have these problems with the A/C or engine temp in traffic and we run hotter ambient temperatures than you guys tend to.
