[bigdawg]

i changed thermostat, radiator, and water pump and i still over heat if i try and have fun with it. ive had plenty of cars and trust me they would never overheat quick like this one whats up with that?? please help i dont know what else to do

what set up do you have...

 

[bigdawg]

3.8 turbo engine 200r4 trans and 8.5 rear end posi i think thats what ur asking

 

[pontiacgp]

what size is the rad?

 

[bigdawg]

how do you know ? the receiving and sending hose feel nice and stiff and like coolants flowing threw them it seems

 

[pontiacgp]

I changed that post after I realised you have a new rad...but to check the flow remove the rad cap

earlier i was cruisin around and seen a SS monte pull up next to me and i did like a 10 second brake peel out till it turned green and mashed it.... then since i knew it always does that sh*t i pulled into a gas station a il be damned there it is over heated. could maybe an electric fan help? when i remove the cap what should i be seeing?

 

[pontiacgp]

when you remove the cap you should see the coolant flowing at a good rate, since your rad is new that wouldn't be the problem. How's the clutch on your cooling fan?

 

[bigdawg]

no its from a junkyard and thats it bingo cause i always thought when you open the cap its suppost to be like falling down and sh*t comming from the walls inside and it dont, i still got time to go and switch it for another but is there a way to unclog it?

I had the same thing happen to me with my GN. The guy up the street from me is turbo buick guru. He told me to remove radiator cap and give the car gas radiator level will suck down continue holding the gas while you top off radiator and install cap. I did this and never had a problem again. Also make sure radiator cap seAl is not ripped allowing air to be sucked in.
