its not overheating to the point of damage (yet) but ive noticed that if my truck is sitting for a bit idling (like 10-15 min,usually with the a/c on) it will have the temp guage over halfway towards hot, normally it doesnt move but 1/4 of the way on the guage. once i get moving it goes back down. i have fresh antifreeze and a new thermostat. im guessing its either the water pump or fan clutch. how do you check the fan clutch? could i permantly "lock" it up? i have 109k on the truck and to the best of my knowledge the water pump and fan clutch are original. if ive got a problem starting id like to get it now before it gets worse, driving around town doesnt seem to get too warm unless im pulling the 6x10 trailer.
