what kinds of things have you tried or checked already? thermostat? radiator? fan?

the one thing that i did notice was that there is a huge ac condensor mounted to the front of the radiator (at least i think it's an ac condensor) i've never seeing a trans. cooler that big. But i think thats restricting my air flow @ idle speeds. the truck tends to heat up when idleing and when pulling up hills. have not checked the thermostat, but will do so. i want to be able to sit in traffic all day long with the ac on and not worry about a thing, same with towing my boat to the river in 115 degrees up hill, ac blastin' and not over heat! any sugg. on how to achieve this would be great. :confused:
