Overheating possible electrical issue?

[VX crazy]

Kind of piggy-backing on my water pump thread a bit and haven't read anything about this before.

Water pump and thermostat check out fine I am told, so it's most likely electrical? I have never heard of this before and my electric and A/C fan are working fine.

Thoughts??

Need more info, is when in stop and go traffic? Or all the time? Mine gets hot here in stop and go traffic but I have new water pump and we are doing the electric fan conversion since the stock fan you can freely spin when the engine is off......check yours maybe

Stop and go and larger than normal pull on the engine as when going up hills. When it does this I just turn the temp up to 85+ deg and roll the windows down then I am fine.

Another thing to consider is your tranny. Your fluid could be low enough to cause overheating but still have enough in it to shift smoothly. This would especially happen when going up long or steep climbs. I know this first hand from my trip into the upper elevations this weekend...and it will not trip any of the idiot lights.

Haven't looked at this and I am due for an oil change, so I'll get that looked at also.
