Okay - so i had my dad give my '91 mustang 5.0 gt an oil change, replaced o2 sensors (Bosch), and fixed the passenger door lock actuator yesterday. It's got 98k miles on it. Last night I was driving it home and I noticed the temperature needle going up and up (it got about 3/4 of the way to the top). Luckily I was at my destination and I turned the car off and opened the hood to find the top radiator tube really squished - called my dad and he told me that the tube was bad and that it just needed replacing. So I bought a new tube and new hose clamps and replaced that. Driving it home today and it started over heating worse (it got all the way up to the N on the Normal). What's wrong!!! I need help! I'm a chick and my ex talked me into getting this car and i'm ready to kill him. I also don't have a lot of money *due to the ex taking it from me* so i would love to avoid taking it to a shop as much as possible. Thanks.

check the upper radiator hose, is it squished again?

so if it was a stuck thermostat - is there ways to tell just by looking at it? sorry ima chick!! haha - and the top hose (that i just replaced) looks fine.
