replace your thermostat and do a coolant flush radiator and motor make sure your engine is cold if you just use hose like me or you might crack your block and if you still have over heating prob pop a hole in your thermostat it will take a while to warm up but it will stay cooler longer....

you may replace the radiator as well and use Pristone Coolant, as I have done
