2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES V6 has an overheating problem, replaced Thermostat, checked for cracked Head gasket and it's not either of those things, what else can I do, if I change out the water pump and it's not that what else could it be?
Check the following, make sure the is no dirt or rubbish in the radiator cooling fins, check the air con fan comes on as soon as the air con , if it has a electric cooling fan for the engine it must come on at working temp, Check the radiator cap with a pressure tester, Reverse flush the radiator and flow test to make sure no tubes are blocked , check engine timing.
Are your cooling fans operating?

I had a problem with water also, so I took it to the dealer. It was a clogged drain on the passenger side. I think the one that ran from the windshield wiper area. It took about five minutes fo fix and my dealer did it for free. Not sure if your issue is the same.

Waterpump replacement requires removal and replacement of your timing belt. Because of this it is not your typical do it yourself repair. Engine timing is critical, and not having your belt set correctly can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
You can purchase a service manual at your local parts store to get an idea of what is involved, however this being an interference engine you should leave this job to a professional if you are uncertain enough about your abilities that you need to ask for help on it. The cost to replace the waterpump is far far less than the cost to repair a engine that had an incorrectly set timing belt.

It is possible that the thermostat is bad even though it is new
