2002 Chevy S10 extreme 4.3 liter V6; mileage 110,000. Today while driving, my truck overheated, so I changed the thermostat, now it is still running hotter than usual. All my fluids are ok and there are no leaks. I was having a problem that when I turn my air conditioning on the truck would overheat. But would cool down when I shut the air off. Now it is running at about 210 degrees which is hotter than it was running. Any ideas what may be causing this? Any advice would be helpful.

Check for any obstructions to air flow through the radiator and air conditioning condenser. Is the fan operating correctly?
Before you refilled the radiator with antifreeze, did you check the ends of the tubes inside the radiator for buildup of corrosion? Does the antifreeze cycle up & down in the radiator when refilling?
