Took me 8 and yes literally 8 years to figure out that the fan clutch was the problem. Another user on here (Street Creeper?) had mentioned that he had the same issue and resolved it by replacing his fan clutch. So I replaced mine with Aisin p/n FCT-013 and never had the issue again. I can now run my A/C full blast in 3 figure temperatures with no issues. All I'll add is to be careful when removing the 4 nuts that hold it in place, they can be easily rounded. They're like $80-$90 and I would do it all over again if I had to.

I'll add another +1. I had the same issue where engine temps would rise into the 200's idling with AC on in hot temps. Replaced my fan clutch and haven't had a issue since.
