Exclamation 1995 Convertible Mustang V6 Engine overheating

Hi, Im new to this forum and i got my car a couple months ago with 114,??? miles on it, and now it has 115,??? on it and i have replaced the radiator and the thermostat and the car keeps on over heating. Also, when the car is at operating temperature white smoke comes out from the muffler. I have been told that i need to replace the head gasket on it. Is that true??? Or is there a different solution to this problem???

White usually means antifreeze is being burned so ya a head gasket is likely.

As for the heat problem since you did the radiator and thermostat all is left is the fan. the fan or the relay could be bad or both.
