Everythingtried Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Car overheated out of no where one day. Now I have changed the water pump, Thermostat a few times, flushed out Radiator, fan cuts on always has, no leaks, no bubbles in coolant reservoir, oil still looks like oil so I don't want to believe it's the head gasket any help!?!

Everythingtried Posted November 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 It overheats after about 30 minutes of driving, hot air isn't really hot, when I turn the car off it has a thumping sloshing sound in the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This noise is from air entrapment in the cooling system. Are you sure you are not loosing coolant as you drive the car? White smoke out the exhaust when you accelerate? This could mean a bad head gasket or even worse a cracked cylinder head or engine block. Also I am not sure of which engine size you are working with,. Did you post that somewhere? Each engine size has it's own particular "quirks". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingtried Posted November 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 I have a 3.5 engine and today I was driving it and the hand never left C until it overheated and I had oil everywhere under the hood, there is no smoke leaving the exhaust and there was no smoke from under the hood until it overheated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingtried Posted November 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 It could definitely be air as I don't know how to bleed my system but I did put 2 gallons of coolant in over the past few days and I had drained my coolant and flushed my system previously. Now I need more coolant since it overheated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
