truck runnig hot
I have an 04 Silverado. Changed the coolant, thermostat and hoses. about a month or so ago. well know when I let it idle with the A/C on the temp. climbs up 215 to like 233. what does everyone think it could be? I was thinking it was my fan clutch ,might be switching to e fans. what size and where can I get the whole kit with everything.

With the engine off, try spinning it. It should spin with a little resistance. If it is really hard to turn or spins freely, it is probably worn.
I have always used the following method with good results:
Jack up the front of the truck
Remove radiator/overflow cap
Turn the truck on
Turn the heat on High
Let it run for 30 minutes or so
Add coolant as necessary
also how do you purge all the air out?
