stocksuspension said:as people have stated, is there any air pockets? Block test the cooling system maje sure it isnt the block/heads
If your engine is running and you are not losing coolant, there is pressure in the cooling system and there is flow.Macro1 said:FWI: there is flow, but its not much at all. The problem is there is no pressure in the coolant system.

Have you done a compression test ? If not Do It..
Then pull the heads and pressurrize the block, the head gaskets are bad anyway?
Pull the heavy duty fan clutch and see if the wine is better..
power steering pump sounds like it may have issues.

cosmic88 said:I read the thread and didn't see any reference to the belt routing... Are you 100% certain the Serp. belt is routed correctly... That is a guaranteed overheat.
I'm just thinking it's possible you fixed the original cooling issue with the t-stat or the HD fan clutch or the water pump but then maybe the belt got reinstalled incorrectly?

RoverbyProxy said:I mentioned the coolant cap before, keep in mind a faulty cap (not maintaining proper pressure in the system) will account for a 20-30 degree increase in temp. Also, ensure your radiator is clean, reverse spray the the rad, and coolers with compressed air (wear safety glasses, that shit goes everywhere). Any large gaps in the fan shroud will also be a problem. Does your ac work? If not then maybe remove the condesor to get more air flow accross the rad. Good luck man, you may just have to live with a slightly higher eng temp.
