I just had the thermostat changed cuz my car was overheating...seemed to have taken care of the problem until I turned on my a/c. I can drive all over and engine doesn't overheat until I turn it on. Is this my compressor, radiator??

I would lean more torwards the cooling fan/s being the problem. Check and make sure that they are coming on when the a/c is on.

I was just wondering if you solved your problem. I am having the same problem with my 1996 Blazer.
