PS: It's 109 outside, my H3 has been idling on asphalt int he sun for about 45 minutes with the a/c on and the gauge is at 3/4. The day that mine got hot I think it was 114. I have a Tech II in the shop but don't have a candi module so I can't track temps. If I can use a friends candi module I will track the temps and see what happens. If I really get ambitious I will hook up the data logger.........we'll see.
Excellent cooling system chat by the way, thanks.

Ken,
How about R12, and a GM swash plate 6 cylinder non-cycling compressor? Comfy!
109F, idling, and gauge at 3/4 doesn't sound too bad. Which direction was the nose pointed relative to the wind? It would be interesting to pin down the conditions where these things are getting hot. I was at the Hummer Happening near Los Angeles in the Santa Monica Mountains, and temps were low 90's. I was watching the guage closely, because of the overheating reports. One minute the guage was just below the red zone, and the next it was mid-point, even when just idling with the air on. Seems like something isn't quite right.
