Let the car sit on a slant like your driveway and take the radiator cap off. Let the car idle for a 5-10mins...It worked for me last time when my car kept over heating. I tried replacing everything (10 degree lower thermostat, t-stat gasket, waterpump, radiator etc.) like you did when it was something so simple...Hope it helps you out <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ August 31, 2006, 09:47 PM: Message edited by: J24I ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
