There may also be air in the cooling system form when you changed the CTS, coolant level sensor and t-stat. BNaylor 05-15-2007, 11:21 AM Welcome to AF. When was the last cooling system service (flush and anti-freeze replacement) and are you still running the original Dex-Cool? In most cases a good cooling system service/flush will take care of a problem where the engine gets hot with the A/C on even though the cooling fans are supposedly turning on.
