Our 01 devill dts is overheating new radiaor, water pump, recovery tank cap, E.c.t. sensor and thermostat all replaced.let idle started to heat up but went back down so we drove the car for 15 minutes ran fine ,perfect temperature. Parked and shut off the car for 15 minutes got back in the car drove it stared to heat up right away and kept climbing.
That car holds 8 quarts of oil. Thats why its still low. You may have head gasket problems. Find a shop that is familiar with your Northstar engine, its going to be big bucks.
Testimonial: "thankyou for your knowledge. I just didn't want to believe it's a head gasket. "
The most common overheating problem with the Northstar engine is a blocked purge line. It's job is to purge air out of the cooling system.
There is a small diameter hose coming from near the top of the coolant tank,this is the purge line.
With the engine idling,pull the purge line from the tank,if there is no coolant flow from this small hose,it is blocked and this will cause overheating.If the hose is clear, check for blockage at the nipple on the tank.Or trace the hose back until you find the blockage.The hose goes in to the engine to a crossover and comes out the other side to near the thermostat housing,the blockage may be there.
Is it losing coolant, or just hot? are the cooling fans operating? Is it pushing coolant out of the tank?
Get the
coolant pressure tested, its definitely leaking coolant. You will need to get
the coolant running line.
Pressure
test will help you to know from where exactly coolant/refrigerant is getting
leaked.

also no heat coming from heater just cool air. car is at proper operating tempature
and coolant level is fine.
Changed oil yesterday, put 5 quarts of oil in, but it doesn't show on the dipstick. NO leaks! Any ideas?
