I'm at witts end, on my truck I have changed the radiator, thermostat, 90% of the hoses and the water pump. The thing is my truck still runs hot.. BUT. Only when the AC is on. It won't run hot if I drive in the 90+ degree weather but soon as I cut on the air.. temp goes up till the check engine light comes on.. but there is a twist .. it don't run hot at night.. the temp will rise but just above the half mark. Some people told me to get the AC check..could be low or need a ac cooler thing that's in the front of the coolant raidator, or even the compressor.. its hot in FL need help soon

have you verified that the fan comes on when you turn the a/c on? because it is supposed to. also you may want to check the engine coolant temperature sensor.
