This is what happened to my Silverado 2006 2500HD. Changed water pump and thermostat. After that, at idle it gets to 215 and when driving or pressing on the gas pedal, it goes to 190. Found that tensioner pulley can begin giving out if retracted several times and cause less tension on pulleys. On my buddies truck, when changing the thermostat and water pump, the belt we found was covered with oil and antifreeze. After cleaning the belt it held nicer and without slipping and temp improved.
This is happening to mine as we list a 02 Chevy Silverado and I’ve done some stuff to it my self to fix the issue took it to my local mechanic twice and still the same issue like wtf
That’s how they are mine is the same. They have like a delay to turn the fans on. What I do when the needle passes 210 I turn the a/c and the fan turns on right away
Jonathan Gollin he lied what a jackass 😂. but mine overheating right now but when I drive it gets normal not sure if it was cause I put to much coolant a few days ago im gonna take some out and leave it at specs
Read your owner's manual... 210-220 is normal operating temperature. 250 can also occur when towing or driving up a steep grade.. 260+ you will get an engine overheating warning and your motor will lose power as it's a fail safe to protect your engine from damage. This video is pointless.
Yes, Emily I've been a mechanic for 30 years now. The Best way to fix this problem would be to put a 20lb bag of ice on top of your engine before starting it. Works great.
OMG this is the most helpful video I have ever found on UA-cam, thanks for posting.
😂😂😂😂

210 is normal if running stock thermostat etc this video is pointless
Try changing your coolant your temperature sensor that's all I can really think of that's pretty hot
Does your clutch fan still kick on in the motor I don't hear it ngl that might be your issue
That’s hardly overheating.....
Did you get it fixed?

Mine sits right on the 210 line in the center too.. is that overheating?
No.
That's normal
I had to change the thermostat on my 2000 gmc sierra
Stepper motor was bad in the cluster
Really? I'm thinking that might be what's causing my 04 not to reset im monitors so that I can pass inspection
My 04 is doing this exact thing.
Lol at that temp it might just need an air filter
My 04 Tahoe is running extremely Hot like this also. It's running at temp 209, how do I get it down to 109?? I'm scared to keep driving it.

Clutch fan prob.
Do an oil change replace the radiator boom
Figure out the issue??
Heater core
So what’s the solution
My 06 is doing the exact same thing, but has not gone over 210. What was the issue?
Did u ever find out the solution? My 06 silverado is doing it
@@BenDover-mw9pb I changed my top temperature sensor
Normal
210 is perfect
210 is Perfect. You see that Red line that's when you worry. ✌️🇺🇸👊
I have same problem on 03 Chevrolet suburban did figure out problems
What was the problem with it
