I've run into this as summer kicked in this year, last summer I had no issues at all. In 109* heat I can idle for extended periods, sit in stop and go traffic or run on the highway with no sign of over heating at all.
With the A/C on however I will go from 210 to 230 very quickly in any condition. I can turn the A/C off and the temp will drop right back down to 210 in a few minutes.
The A/C seems to blow cold, I haven't used it hardly because of this problem. I did idle it in my garage with the A/C on when checking the refrigerant level and it was blowing ice cold there.
I've been searching and some people suggest the E-fan isn't hitting it's 2nd speed, I didn't know it had 2 speeds. Others suggest the thermostat is sticking or the A/C condenser is clogged. Is there a way to test the condenser or fan? Or anything else to check?
Just so weird to me that the temperature jumps so much so fast with the A/C and as soon as the A/C is off it cools right back down. That makes me think the cooling system is fine and it's got to be an e-fan or condenser issue.
I have a CFM 3 row radiator, hesco water pump, HD ZJ fan clutch, OEM thermostat, OEM radiator cap, OEM lower hose with spring, E-fan is kicking on and staying on and coolant level full with proper mix.
