theyre maybe an air bubble in the block causing it to overheat,or it could also be a bad water pump
Check coolant level Perhaps thermostat is not opening to allow coolant to flow
99 Cadillac deville over heats no circulation from reserve
Here are a couple possibilities. Thermostat in backwards(spring goes toward engine),plugged radiator,radiator hose collapsing, bad head gasket. Hope this helps
Could be a collapsed lower radiator hose, perhaps a bad thermostat.
By the thermostat
Vrey carefully
sounds like your thermostat is stuck, assuming I read you post right...I read your question as if you've replaced the waterpump, and something about replacing some coolant lines, but are not getting any coolant flow so you engine is overheating while the radiator and coolant lines stay cool to the touch. Sounds like either a major clog in the system or a stuck thermostat to me.
In the motor.
The first step in how one can replace a thermostat in a 2001 Cadillac DeVille is to remove the housing which surrounds the old thermostat. The radiator hose will need to be removed and drained and then the thermostat can be removed. Remove the old thermostat gasket and then insert the new thermostat as well as the new gasket. Attach the radiator hose and place the drained fluid back into the radiator filler cap.
Contact Thermagasket @ 1-925-215-1211 and ask them. I had same problem with my 98 Northstar and they sold ma a part that takes 10 minutes to install using a knife/scissors and a screw driver. Stopped my car from overheating instantly. Northstar has built in problem, this fixes it.
to keep the hose from collapsing
Usually at engine end of upper radiator hose in housing
