Your 2000 Chevy cavalier was flushed out and new antifreeze put in and now it is over heating and did not do that before what can you do?

It most likely has an air bubble. Allow engine to cool completely. Find bleeder valve and open to remove air bubble. This may require adding coolant. Close valve when coolant comes out. Fill reservour to correct level and go for a spin.

When adding Prestone antifreeze to a Chevy Cavalier 1999 do you need to add water also?
Yes. Never add pure antifreeze. Pure antifreeze will actually freeze before a 50/50 mix. Add coolant that is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. You can buy it already pre-mixed.

What type of antifreeze is needed for 98 Chevy 1500 van?
It came with "Dex Cool" in it originally. (Red colored fluid). This antifreeze is responsible for softening the seals and causing intake gasket leaks on small block GM vehicles. Flush the dex-cool out as best you can and refill it with antifreeze that is designed to be mixed with either type of coolant. Mixing regular antifreeze with Dexcool unless it states on the container that it is intended to be mixed with it will cause the Dexcool to turn to jello and will plug up your system. Dexcool should be removed and flushed out COMPLETELY before adding any other type of antifreeze.

Your husband flushed out the radiator and filled up with new antifreeze and it is now overheating and never did that before what do you do now Help?
Is it at the correct fill level ? If the radiator is old it is possible some corrosion has blocked up soemwhere and the radiator may need anther draining and flush through with water till it clears out.
