I make more money that you, my wife is hotter than yours, my thingy is bigger than yours
well have you checked anything?thermostat could be stuck,waterpump working?
did you burp it
worst case blown hg does it have anyother symptoms? idle rough coolant in oil sweet smelling exhaust?
pressure test the coolant system while it is cold then while it is warm. Be careful popping the cap when its hot/warm I only refill coolant systems with a burper funnel or park the truck on an incline over 15 degrees and fill it up/let it warm up and top off. You might have a blown hg or cracked head.... why the new radiator? just a leaky one or did it totally go out and engine overheated?
coolant is low or the water pump is not working
Or you have symptoms from either...Blown HG for example. Check your plugs or your oil on dipstick. Compression test while you are there. However this is not always accurate to diagnose a blown head gasket. If it is a coolant issue then it is either leaking to the outside and you'll have coolant on the ground or leaking into the cylinder where you will have rough idle, possibly a white tipped spark plug, coolant in your engine oil (looks like chocolate milk on the dip stick)Bottomline, no coolant through your heater core (low level-leaking out through HG or through any other cooling system component, stuck thermostat, bad pump)or the coolant isnt hot (not warmed up(thermostat has been removed)). If youve replaced your thermostat and checked your coolant level and made sure the heater core isnt leaking then I would chase 2 things1. Water pump. does the system circulate or build pressure? If so then your pump is probably good. Plus you will heat up pretty quickly on drives2. You have the ever so common blown HG...From your latest post, this seems like the culprit...There arent many components to trouble shoot in cooling systems...radiator, thermostat, water pump, heater core, block channels. It is a circle just chase the most common problems first...Unfortunately a blown HG is almost as common as a stuck thermostat.Let us know how you make out
what is burping and a burp funnel?
If there is air at the t stat, it might not allow it open , with the cap on
Its a funnel that you put on the radiator where the cap goes, you dont really need one.When you burp it, you leave the cap off, so the air that is the system has a place to go after the t stat opens upIf there is air at the t stat, it might not allow it open , with the cap on
