Today, while idling, it started blowing really hot air and would only correct itself when I would drive. Also, later in the afternoon, I got the message "ENGINE HOT A/C OFF". I immediately took it up to the dealer when it cooled down. Any idea what all of this is? Does the overheating and the A/C correlate in some way? I'm so confused and mad. I hope this won't cost a fortune! Any help is truly appreciated!!
I know this post is really old, but I have an 08 silverado and it's having the exact same problem as you described with the ac. Just wondering if you ever figured this out.

This works for any vehicsl blue devil will fix any car over heating just pour it in your over flow or radiator and it will fix your problem you might want to buy a few bottles because once it becomes more popular it is going to up in price now it cost about 40.00 try it you will love it and it does not mean up your motor

It won't fix anything if the cooling fans aren't working.
