Of coarse-- an old & partial clogged radiator isn't
going to do it's job

Are you loosing coolant,if so, test for a head gasket

You stop using any vehicle the moment it overheats,
until you find & resolve the problem or ruin it

Yes, take the car to a radiator repair shop and have them flow test it.

SOURCE: ford ranger truck overheating

I have had this happen with my ranger. Changed everything I could to try to fix the over heating. It turned out that I had a small leak in my head gasket and it was allowing exsaust gas to go into the cooling system witch was over pressurizing it. Also the air from the exsaust will heat up much faster than liquid making your thermostat to read hot and will not be able to blow hot air in the cab because there is no liquid going to the heater core. This happened to me when my blet came off and I tryed to make it home. If you had it over heat for a long peirod of time it may have ripped the head gasket.

SOURCE: Overheating engine

Check your oil dipstick for coolant, or a mucky substance. Your symptoms sound like a blown head gasket.

SOURCE: 93 lexus gs 300 overheats. i changed water pump,

Try blowing the radiator fins out (from the inside) with compressed air--bugs and other debris can clog the air flow. Do the radiator fan(s) run when hot? If not, check for blown fuse, seized fan motor(s), bad relay, or bad engine thermal sensor. Is it losing coolant water from somewhere?

Have you shop perform a "leakdown test." You probably have a bad head gasket )or a leak in the gasket).

98 caddy deville overheating changed the water pump and thermostat

Run the car without the thermostad to see if it still overheats. If so check the heat sensor it might be faulty.

2001 deville over heating. Changed thermostat. Once old thermostat was off it was ok. Changed anyway. Still over heating.

First, check to make sure your cooling fan is working, if not , could be fan motor , relay or temp sensor. if it is, it may be a clogged radiator?? start with these things first, they are the easest ...there are a lot more things it could be... that will be more involved (harder) to get into...Hope this helps you ?? Good Luck

Hi , my caddy is overheating when the car run over 80 miles i have changed thermostat , water pump and ridator but the car still over heating just when the cat run only ! it`s 2000 DTS

Maybe the Wrong water pump, there maybe a pump with a serpentine belt and one with regular fan belt. The pumps work in different directions. Or thermostat was put in incorrectly.

1999 deville overheating

Head Gasket problems are common on the 4.6. It is an expensive repair, because the engine has to come out and all the head bolt holes have to be retapped. Check it for leaks first. Check the water pump and water pump housing to cylinder head gaskets.
