I made a post earlier last week in regards to my overheating. I flushed out radiator, replaced radiator cap, thermostat, thermostat housing last week. It still overheated. Today, I replaced the fan clutch. I drove it around tonight and the problem has not went away. On a cold engine and if the heat is on, the temp gauge reads normal. When climate controls are off, temp gauge will read normal for a while, then it will creep up to 3/4 mark, back down to 1/2 mark, and back and forth between 3/4 and 1/2. However it will not read past 3/4. Whenever I turn on the A/C, then the temp will rise past 3/4 mark and all the way up to “H”. What the heck can it be? Could it be a bad water pump? I assume and hope it’s not a blown head gasket, cracked head or block. When I check the oil, it looks normal. No creamy appearance. So what the heck? Bad water pump? I’m tempted to replace water pump as my next move. What do you think
