[DML] Overheating



HELP- On Saturday, I was driving my D and stopped to get gas. I had the A/C 
running on maximum when I noticed that there was smoke coming from the 
passenger side of my car. I quickly drove out of the gas line and up the 
street where I had room to pull over. When I got out of my car (I left it 
running) I looked around for smoke or any signs of coolant leaking from my 
car. I didn't notice any, so I decided to go back to the gas station. Just as 
I pulled onto the road, I noticed my temperature guage was pegged at the 
highest mark. I quickly turned into a parking lot and turned it off. Aftert 
waiting about 15 minutes, I started it up and drove home (about 1 mile away). 
Just as I got on the road, I noticed the temperature was just at the red 
mark, but it quickly went down to 220F, then it went to normal. When I got 
home, I left it idle in the garage, then bleed the radiator. I got some air 
out of the radiator but noticed that the fans weren't coming on. When I 
checked the temp, it was again at the highest mark. I turned it off and left 
it for a while. When I came back, I opened the coolant bottle and checked the 
level, it was OK. I just replaced the temperature sending unit about 4 months 
ago and have never had a problem like this. What can I do? Why didn't the 
fans come on? Why did it overheat even with the A/C on and those same fans 
running? Could I have a broken water pump? HELP...Please!!!
