Default 1997 dodge grand caravan overheating

Hello


i have a 97 dodge grand caravan 3.3. Having overheating probleams. It overheats when the front and rear ac is on and more when sitting at a light or just sitting while running.


Replaced the water pump, radator, fans, thermistat. Still over heats.


No water in the oil. Fluids are good. Any ideas?

I take it both fans are running at idle with A/C on.

Exhaust leak past the head gasket? Are you seeing bubbles at the rad cap while running? Can test with one of these or leak detect test strips.
