After replacing the water pump and thermostat at 117000 miles, the engine overheats when the A/C is used for long periods of time. Afraid to travel due to overheating. Bubbling from under the dash also. When not running a?C it runs ok. Fluids all well changed and maintained regularly.

1995 GMC Jimmy sls 4 door 4WD vortec 4.3 L V6. We have had this thing for 7 years and nothing I have ever owned has taught me more about being a "shadetree" mechanic! the list is as follows, break booster replaced 2 times. Egr valve replaced 3 times. Front brakes replaced at least 12 times (they fail every 1500 to 1800 miles!) back hatch wont open. Both set of wipers, front and back do not work( safety issue!) engine overheats. Water pump replaced 2 times. Thermostat replaced 3 times. Lights flicker as if the altenator is going bad, (resulting in police asking me to check into this.) battery replaced 4 times (average life of new battery, 4 years!) transmission shifts very hard when engine is cool/ hot! starting to see rust in trans, dipstick. Sometimes cant shift from 2 wd to 4 wd and when able, transfer case makes clicking sound. This is not a phony complaint! I need help with this as I never see a recall, warranty is out and I cant afford to take it in. I don't think I left any thing out, but im sure my wife will let me know. You can give my name to who ever when ever if it will help us fix this situation.
