hey all. my 01 v6 x has had an issue with overheating for a while now. ive searched all over the place to see what others had done but nothing really pinpointed. it happens only when the A/C is on and moving above 35 mph. no issues when idling or in slow traffic. it also only happens in temps above 75 degrees. ive so far rinsed the radiator multiple times and had a radiaor flush done a little while back. no change. my next step is bleed the system of air and change the radiator cap. any help wpuld be greatly appreciated. thanks

Thats my thoughts too.
with the A/C on adding a little more heat and the fan not driving the air enough.

I had the same problem but my radiator was clogged with mud. It has happened once more since I put a new radiator in. I think I may save up a little and buy an electric fan.

I just had the same problem, replaced the fan clutch and all is good.
