I suspect that either your thermostat is plugged with debris from the radiator change or that the thermostat was replaced backwards. The spring side should be towards the block.

If you changed the head gasket should there be oil still showing in the antifreeze bottle on a 1997 Saturn sl?

Are you sure that isn't antifreeze and if so that would indicate the radiator is defective. There is a transmission oil cooler in the radiator.


What will make your 05 grand Cherokee limited over heat if you just changed your radiator?

There could be several things that will make your 2005 Grand Cherokee Limited overheat even if you just changed your radiator. There may be a head gasket blown.


Why does 1989 Honda CRX si overheat on free way?

Thermostat messed up, Oil needs to be changed, no antifreeze in the radiator, radiator fan is not working properly


You have changed the thermostat but your 1997 ford contour is still overheating What could the problem be?

Radiator plugged or restricted? Cooling system airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Radiator cap defective? Radiator hoses collapsing under pressure? Defective gauge/cooling temperature sensor?


Where would my antifreeze be leaking from if you have a new radiator?

Could be the heater. It's likely that most of the hoses to the rad were changed, but maybe a hose to a heater (if you have more than one), or the heater itself.


Water not circulating changed thermostat head gasket water pump and radiator what could be wrong car overheating?

You may have the thermostat in upside down, typically you want the pointed side facing UP.


Why would there be mud in the radiator of a 1996 GMC sonoma?

it is not mud. Most 94 and later GM'S come out with Dexcool antifreeze. If it hasn't been changed it will kinda look like mud. My recomendation would be to flush the whole cooling system and replace with regular or universal antifreeze.


How do you change antifreeze in a 1300 vtx?

I changed the antifreeze in my bike and according to the manual, it says to add only through the port under the seat. That port goes to the overflow bottle underneath. There seems to be no siphon to draw it into the radiator. I know this because I rode the bike until the coolant light came on. Checked the bottle and it was still loaded with antifreeze. Only other was I can think to add it is to remove the hose about the radiator and add directly to the radiator. In the meantime I have more that I need in the over flow bottle. It does drain out to the ground if you try to add more than it has capacity for.


You changed your bottom radiator hose but there is still an antifreeze leak the leak seems to be coming from right above the oil pan or the pan itself what could be wrong?

Water pump or bad hose clamp


Why is there no antifreeze in your overflow after you changed your radiator?

Because it leaked out, or was absorbed as the new radiator filled its voids. Just top it off, and observe during and after an engine thermal cycle, and top off as necessary until proper range is reached. Notice that the reservoir has "hot" and "cold" levels.


Why would a 1998 Pontiac Transport Montana over heat after the thermostat and coolant sensor has been changed?

You more than likely have a bad water pump. With the car running, open your radiator cap and see if the water is circulating through the radiator. If not, then your water pump is bad. Hope that helps...


Why does the engine in your 1994 grand Marquis keep overheating?

I do not have a Grand Marquis so my engine does not overheat! Fords and Ford products tend to overheat and always have! Let's check a few things. How long has it been since you changed the thermostat and the coolant? Those two things are the most likely culprits. What is the condition of the hoses? Have those been changed in the last several years? If you have changed the hoses, the thermostat, and the coolant, and it still overheats, then it is time to take it to a radiator shop and have the radiator rodded out. ========================================================== I have been driving Ford models for over 40 years and have never had an engine overheat . Don't forget the basics , engine cooling system level etcetera . Check for a fan clutch problem , a problem with the water pump not circulating . Ford also states that if you exceed 60% antifreeze in the distilled water / antifreeze mix that it could overheat in hot weather
