Engine and coolant flush
 
I did an engine and coolant flush. Changed the thermostat,water pump, heater hoses, radiator and radiator upper and lower hoses. But my jeep is still heating up. 1995 Jeep Cherokee sport v6 4.0l. Any suggestions

Do you still have a fan shroud on it?

Describe how you flushed your engine and radiator.

1995 Jeep Cherokee sport v6 4.0l............ V6?

Is it or was it drinking coolant? Coolant in the oil? Oil in the coolant?

Under what circumstances is it overheating? I don't see a fan clutch on that list of parts. A worn fan clutch (clutch fan?) will cause it to overheat while not moving. An intact fan shroud is also important to ensure the fan is pulling air through the radiator appropriately.

Also, as have been eluded to, the motor is an inline 6, not a v6.

What temp is it running? And do you have an electric fan? If so, is it working?

If you shut off the engine when hot, can you spin the engine fan by hand?

Did you burp the system of air using a spill free funnel? Please be more descriptive. Heating up when idling or driving?
