After I bleeded the radiator system, I thought maybe this would help my temperature gauge not get up to 220*. Well its still going to and beyond 220*. It was almost at 240* today. Can someone help me without being SARCASTIC about it?

Your radiator might be plugged up. A proper flush might help as well as a new thermostat. If your rad is plugged badly, you have no choice but to replace it. Thankfully, they aren't too expensive these days (they all come in from China).

Travel safely.

Is the upper rad hot when the engine warms up? If not, then it'* likely the thermostat.

Is your upper radiator hose hot after the car'* been running for 30 minutes? It should be, if not, then your thermostat is stuck closed.

the hose is hot alright. even after i turn of the motor and let it cool off. i remember that when i burped the system and i needed gloves to sqeeze the hose.

Are your fans coming on? I think my fans are not coming on (haven't checked properly) so I get somewhat higher temps. You can run the AC and high fans should automatically on.

How new is your coolant? Perhaps, check with a hydrometer.

The fan comes on with no problems. The anti freeze is kinda old. If I were to change it, can i use my oil pan to catch that fliud? I dont have anything else to fill the old coolant up with. Also, do i need 4 gallons to refill it?

Once I drain the whole system, I just need one bottle? Wow!

he should have the DEX too steve
