2007 Suburban Running Hot
In the last couple of days I have noticed that my wofe's suburban (2007) is running hot. It sounds fine at start up, but after a short driver it sounds like a fan comes on (best I can describe the sound), and the temp runs up over 3/4 of the way. I was wondering if it could be the water pump going out, or something else entirely? Any help is appreciated.

Been thinking about buying one of these for a while now. Just not sure which one to choose. There are so many. Any recommendations for a good one that won't break the bank. Maybe something $150 or less????

$318 with shipping. About as cheap as you're going to find for a full-fuction Tech2-type tool.
You can buy a cheap ($10) OBD2 reader that you can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Run it with the Torque application, and you can at least do the basics - keep an eye on vehicle parameters, check trouble codes, etc. I have one for each of my vehicles.

First of all, within the normal operating range is normal. However, if you think it's running hotter, could be thermostat, air flow, or fan failure issue (electric fans or fan clutch), low coolant level (air pockets). However, important to tell us if this running hotter is during city driving or during highway driving, that is way different, and different reasons.
