overheating
my truck tends to want to over heat when going up hill to about 3/4 and then comes back down after coming back down. sometimes also when temp gauge is at normal running temp i can hear boiling in the overflow. i have replaced thermostat,water pump, flushed radiator and engine. new radiator cap. any clue as to what it could be?

A 3vze which is notorious for head gasket failure, I would perform a test for exhaust gases in coolant (block tester). Any auto parts store has them.

do you think it's a good idea to remove the ac condenser in front of the radiator to get more cooler air to that radiator?
