Overheating

RE: Overheating
next time it overheats, touch both radiator hoses. both should be hot, if the upper hose is still cold, the therm is stuck closed.
if the upper hose is hot and the lower is cold, you have no flow through the radiator.

that $hit happened to me.. i replaced the water pump and the thermostat (180*) my waterpump was trash.. it didnt loose coolant for a while and then it started loosing a lot more more frequently.. im currently having my head gasket replaced.. coolant was leaking into cyl6 and 7 i believe... you may need to replace her head gasket.. i kno it sucks do a compression test and a leak down test
