When you are sitting at idle with the AC on it does not overheat. It starts to overheat when you're around freeway speeds only with the AC on. I have replaced the hoses the thermostat and belts. Any help on what would cause this

Hello,

It sounds like you have a radiator that is plugged either internally or externally, here is a guide that will help you get the problem fixed.

If the radiator checks out then my next test would be for a blown head gasket.

Please run some tests and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
