Overheating
 
My 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is overheating. The radiator hose blew a couple weeks ago and we replaced both top and bottom hoses. We also replaced the water pump and the thermostat. It is still overheating. Granted its not overheating like it was, but it still smokes and you can smell that overheating smell while the car is on and off. What else could be the problem? Would appreciate any help.

There could still be air in they system after replacing the upper and lower hoses if it wasnt sufficiently "burped". Another thing to look at is the small air bleed hole on your thermostat, it should be facing up to allow air to escape. Did you inspect your radiator while you were replacing the other parts?
