ok i just put in a mr gasket 180 stat and i new 2 core aluminum radaitor with a bid *** electric fan and new hoses. im still over heating all the way to the L in NORMAL. if i use the heat it stays barely under.

what else could i be missing???

 

Thermostat in backwards, blown head gasket, water pump, take your pick they are the only things left.

 

let the car sit till its cold, pressure check the cooling system.

is your radiator getting hot?

 

yep[&:] i replace all of thoes to fix my overheating problem.. oh and the heater core.. [:@]

didnt have to replace the radiator tho

 

With the radiator cap removed, let the engine idle till warm, then put a metal thermometer in the water in the radiator to get an acurate temp. I never trust factory gauges without numbers.
Watch for the water to start moving in the radiator when the thermostat opens, this will prove that the thermostat is opening and the pump is pumping.

 

Um, did you put enough coolant back in it?

 

u have an air pocket
