2004 Tahoe Overheating ??
Hi Kids,
I'm actually shooting this out there for a friend with an 04 Tahoe. Swapped out the water pump, and installed a shiney new top-shelf fan clutch. Still running hot/overheating when he runs his AC or does the around-town-errands.
What do you reckon I'm missing?
ps....he uses the GREEN antifreeze, NOT the GM orange stuff.
pss ... he's got the 5.something V8

Possibly a bad thermostat which would an easy fix. There could also be a partially clogged radiator or even motor block. Back flushing the radiator would could help.

Unknown, hes been afraid to take it out on the highway. But lemme ask you this....... When you get that bag-azz type water pump for this particular vehicle, isn't the new thermostat intergrated/included/already in there. I'd hate to think his mechanic buddy had all that disassembled and didn't put a new thermostat in while he was there.

It IS a vehicle with AC and I got the fan clutch accordingly. And it HAS overheated once...... now he pulls over when it gets too hot to prevent that from happening again.

my 03 denali always overheated or maybe I should say the temp would rise really high. I did water pump, therm, radiator etc. never could figure it out. It would get real hot sitting in summer phoenix traffic too.
