You may have a problem with collapsed hoses or air pockets after changing all of that. You could also have plugged or restricted radiator or block passages. You could have a problem with the pressure cap being out of spec. And are you using the correct coolant mix? Straight water does not cool as well. You need to get the vehicle up to temp and feel what hoses are hot or cold. When it over heats does it just light the check engine light or does it boil over? This can be from several causes and some are pretty easy to fix and some are pretty expensive.

If there isnt any leak in the cooling system the fan clutch is changed and the fan along wit the thermostat dat mean u can probly have a clogged radiator with poor cooling system circulation or u might have to take it to a repair shop to check if the head gasket is blown

SOURCE: My montero keeps overheating. I put a new

These newer engines and air lock when changing the thermostat. Somewhere in the thermostat housing you should see some kind of a plug. You need to do this while engine is cool. Take the cap off the radiator. Remove the plug. You should get air out of the system. Keep letting air out as you put more coolant if needed. When all the air is gone put the plug back in and top off the radiator and you should be good to go.

My nissan thermo gauge goes up towards hot when going up hill only, what can cause this?

If the check engine light is not on, it could be a restriction in the exhaust or mechanical problem with the truck.
If your model has a fan clutch on the water pump, it may not be working correctly.

I have a 1993 ford conversion vAn overheats, new waterpump,thermostat. When going up hills it starts to over heat?

check for low coolant, the cooling fan clutch could be faulty it is free wheeling all the time, when engine is hot fan clutch should have some resistance when you turn it by hand. if all is good, your ignition timing could be off,your radiator and engine need flushing out,you could have faulty water pump, a bad egr valve will cause engine over heat if stuck closed which will engine combustion temperature get hotter.make sure you have 50 / 50 antifreeze and water in coolant system too much water in coolant system will cause engine over heat.also radiator pressure cap.check all those things i told you see what happens.

you mention big hills, and other wise no problem, you may be taxing the transmission , have a trans cooler installed, it may cure all your problems, and good for the trans, heat is the trans biggest killer

RAM 1500 4.7 Now over heats up hills.I replaced the water pump because it was leaking from the weap hole,then it was over heating up hills i replaced the thermostat it still over heats up hills.How do I...

I think this uses a fluid filled thermally controlled clutch. When the engine is cold, (and OFF), you should be able to move the fan easily by hand. Once the engine has warmed up to normal temp, park it, shut off the engine, and again try to move the fan. It should be very firm compared to when cold. (Don't push too hard on it, you can bend the blades.)

A bad fan clutch usually shows up as overheating during idle and stop-and-go driving, however. At a steady speed of above about 35 MPH, you don't need the fan. So if you are going up the hills at more than 35 MPH, I'd suspect the radiator might be somewhat plugged. You can try having it pressure flushed (that might help) but if not, you might have to replace the radiator. Try to get a higher capacity (more cores) radiator.

My 04 dodge 1500 keeps over heating when i turn the ac on or when im going up hills "why"

under maximium load your cooling system is struggling asuming you have an automatic transmission,it is cooled through the radiator,when running the ac your condenser is hot,right in front of the radiator,if your not leaking,and your anti-freeze looks bright green an clean ,and the fan or fans are working ,first change the thermostat,cheapest,remove the serpintine belt and inspect the water pump pulley,spin it by hand,try to tip it forward and backward,to see if it wobbles,it should spin smooth and quiet,if it has a chattering or growling feel,or the pulley wobbles change the pump,the only thing left is the radiator ,make sure that debri or something isnt stuck in front of it a small piece of paper is enough to restrict airflow,inspect the core is it turning green and the fins are falling out ,is the plastic shroud intact around it, lots of things could be going on ,the transmission could be low on fluid,and running hot,causing the excessive load on the radiator,disregaurd this if you have a manual.need more info to pinpoint further,hope this helps

Dodge Neon 1998 DOHC Overheats when off the accelerator

It sounds like your coolant level may be too low. When you drive up hill the coolant will tend to flow into your engine block and help to cool it down. When you drive down hill the coolant will tend to flow out of the engine block and into the radiator. This may allow the engine block to overheat. I recommend checking your coolant level. If you need to add coolant use a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze. If your coolant level is low you may have a leak. Look for the leak while the engine is hot.

I'd also check to make sure your electric cooling fan is working. Let the engine warm up with the car idling in park. Watch to see if the fan ever turns on. If the fan doesn't turn on the problem could be caused by the fan itself, a fan relay, or a temperature sensor.

Overheating

If you have seen the signs of leakage around the water pump thn its worth replacing it being that far already.
Its better too, to flush the radiator.
Usually if the seal blows thts the end of the pump even if it looks ok!
