C5 overheating
My 2000 Vet was 10 yrs old when I purchased it with very low mileage.
It need alot of maintenance. One item was to add new antifreeze. After that I noticed it was running hot, too hot. I read the threads about over heating and learned to bleed the heads. This was the answer to my overheating. I did have to bleed each head 3 times...

You might want to look up under the front of your vehicle where evaporator and radiator are housed just to double-check?
About 2/3rds of my evaporator was absolutely packed with all kinds of windblown junk - most of it consisting of those darned Cottonwood seeds that drift all over in the place!
I've heard that plastic bags like to get caught up in there as well...
