Your Mazda B2500 overheated you replaced the radiator but the coolant will not enter the block and the engine just heads for the red when you have to shut it off It seems as if it could be air-locked?

It is possible that it is air locked. Try squeezing the upper and lower hoses to release any air and make sure the radiator is full, sometimes jacking up the front helps. It could also be a bad thermostat so replace that if you have not done so already.

1999 Ford courier overheating when going up hill we have replaced the thermostat cleaned radiator replaced the coolant fan with a 2nd one.what else could be wrong?
most likely the timing is off, this affects fuel economy and other things.
Radiator coolant pouring out from behind radiator more on passenger side car overheating what can cause this on a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Engine Coolant is probably coming out of a small hole on the bottom of your water pump. This usually means your seals are gone in the pump and that the pump should be replaced. This happened to my '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee on I-40 near Knoxville about 3 years ago. NEW ADDITION: I am having the same problem with my 94 grand Cherokee today, we replaced the water pump and the problem still persists, there may be a hole in the radiator like mine.. just replace the radiator.. that's what im doing
Why would a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee overheat?
Low coolant, failed thermostat, inoperative radiator fan, failed waterpump, failed head/headgasket, etc.Low coolant, failed thermostat, inoperative radiator fan, failed waterpump, failed head/headgasket, etc.
Where is the radiator cap located on the 1990 Jeep Cherokee How do you add coolant with only uncapping the overflow and no radiator cap?
I believe the 1990 year still had the sealed system. So there is no rad cap. You can add fluid by pourig it into the overflow bottle with the vehicle running the coolant will be sucked into the system. No radiator cap exist in the 90, 91 model. You add the coolant to the coolant container (The coolant container cap is the equivalent of the radiator cap, (pressure device))and the palstic container is under pressure all the time. Be carefull when you want to open it after the car has been running. After those year models, Jeep discontinued the use of the pressure container and went back to tha radiator cap and remove the pressure coolant container.
Why would a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier overheat when the radiator fan motor water pump thermostat and heatercore have been replaced and the system has been flushed?
It could be a head gasket or cracked head. With the engine cold, take the radiator cap off and crank the engine. If the head gasket is bad coolant should shoot out of the radiator. 12 inches to possibly hitting the hood.
Volvo 850 overheated at highway speed what might be damaged?
Check coolant in Radiator!!! Radiator might be empty, fill it, it's probably the reason why your engine is overheated
Why would a fan work only after the coolant has overheated on a 1995 Ford Contour that has had the water pump 65K miles now 90Kand thermostat replaced?
Defective radiator cap?Fan temperature sensor defective?
Why would your 1997 eagle talon tsi be over heating so bad when driving?
Low coolant? Stuck Thermostat Cooling fan not working Water pump not working Clogged radiator System airlocked Defective radiator cap
98 Camry that overheated flushed radiator and replaced coolant and thermostat both fans work when the engine is on but it still gets hot any suggestions?
Assuming that the radiator and hoses are not leaking and coolant at proper level. Radiator cap worn and not maintaining coolant system pressure causing the boiling point to rapidly drop, or failing water pump. Possibly very old oil causing issue, or oil pump intermittently not working.
92 Camry engine coolant reservoir boils thermostat and radiator caps replaced radiator replaced 8 mos ago?
You need to check coolant temperature sensor and the water pump.
Why is there oil in your Ford Focus coolant system?
your radiator needs to be replaced
What do I when the car gets overheated?
Turn it off. Let it cool off and then see if it has a coolant leak or radiator leak. Don't open the radiator when hot because the hot water will spray out.
Why would steam be coming out from the radiator cap?
Radiator caps are pressure relief valves. They are rated at "pounds per square inch" and are designed to release some pressure from the radiator if it gets too high. If an engine overheats it can boil the coolant and this will cause the radiator cap to let out steam. Radiator caps DO lose their ability to regulate pressure and can release too soon. If the engine has not overheated, have the radiator cap tested and replaced as necessary.
Why is not safe to open the radiator cap when the engine is overheating?
When the cooling system is overheated, the coolant is at pressure. Removing the radiator cap will release the pressure, and allow the coolant to boil, probably splashing you with boiling-hot radiator fluid. Your arms and hands will certainly be burned, and there's a good chance that the boiling coolant will splash your face. You wouldn't like it if that happens.

Your car has overheated twice in the past couple days - so hot the coolant was boilingwhat could cause the coolant to boil?
Thermostat fail to open. Waterpump is on the deathbed. None, or not enough Anti-freeze in radiator.
You have had overheating problem with your car and quickly you filled the coolant tank with water and after you drive one mile your car overheated again and the the coolant dried up really quick?
If you can't see where its coming from, it may be a cracked head, or a bas headgasket. Also, when you add water to the coolant tank, it doesn't immediately go into the radiator. After the car sits a while, the radiator starts to cool, creating a vacuum. Water/coolant is then pulled into the radiator from the coolant tank.
