Ed92626 Would a fuse or relay make the water boil over? The fans work with/without ac on. The truck doesn't overheat while idling only while driving simply around the block. Sometimes it can take a few minutes to start overheating and another time it can take up to an hour. Replaced the head gaskets (both) and temp sensor and thermostat. Fans work fine and waterpump seems to be working fine also
