Overheating when idling and A/C starts blowing warm. Not steaming.
Changed thermostat, ran with A/C on 45 minutes. Ran cool, A/C fine.
Drove 20 miles, again overheating - A/C warm. Radiator fans both blowing (right one making noise). No leaks, top and bottom hoses both hot.

Let's start with the overheating issue and then we can check the A/C for an issue. It may just has a weak charge but the overheating is clearly affecting it and it may be shutting the compressor off to keep it from overheating more.

I am concerned with the fan making noise but the fact that they are on is a good thing.

So let's check coolant level and then pressure check it just to make sure there are no leaks. I understand you see no external leaks but the pressure test will confirm this.

Let's start with this and go from there. Thanks
