SOURCE: overheating
1. start the engine and leave the radiator cap open.
2. put a cardboard cover or a rug in the front of you radiator.
3. let it runs 20 minutes or more, see if it is overheated and see the water or coolant in the radiator circulated or not. If not, as soon as you have already changed water pump. thermostate and check the hoses, no leak, I think your radiator was blocked.
Did you put stop leak before?

I would do a compression test and leak down test to determine if the head gasket is blown, that is the most likely reason

COULD BE COOLANT SENSOR,HEAD GASKET,CHECK THE TIMING,THE PROPER MIXTURE OF COOLANT,WATER PUMP.DID YOU HAVE IT CHECKED OUT?ANY LEAKS?HEAT WORK WITH FAN?
SOURCE: 95 trooper overheats but replaced thermostat,radiator,cap,hoses.
make sure ur fan clutch is puling some air and replace rad cap with new onr u may have to replace radiator long trips not getting enough water cooled
SOURCE: jeep overheating with a new radiator!
I had a 1998 Dodge Ram that Overheated alot. I changed the Radiators and Thermostats a couple of times. I finally pulled the water pump and found the impellers had been eaten away by electrolysis. I am not saying this is your problem but it is worth a shot. You can check for electrolysis with a voltmeter put one probe on the negative battery terminal and the other in the coolant. You want a reading of less than 0.2 volts.
Hello and welcome to FixYa!
If you have overheating problem, it can lead to multiple
issues. You may be running on low coolant that's why the vehicle overheats. If
that's the case, please add coolant and make sure that it sits on the right
level, too much coolant can cause overheating too for coolant will overflow.
The vehicle may have a faulty or worn out radiator blower
motor that's why it overheats. If that's the case then you will need a blower
motor replacement to resolve the issue.
If the radiator is clogged with dirt and rusts this issue
occurs too. The coolant doesn't flow normally on the cooling system if it's
clogged. If that's the case, I strongly suggest that you have the radiator
flushed to drain out dirt and rusts. If you think that the radiator served you
enough then it's better to have it replaced.
Please do check the radiator hoses, If you have worn out
hoses it can cause coolant leakage which can result to overheating. A tiny hole
is good enough for the vehicle to overheat.
A faulty thermostat sensor can cause the issue too. If you
have worn out thermostat, the fan may not trigger that's why the fan won't work
when under stressed conditions. A blown radiator blower fuse can cause this
issue too so I suggest that you check the radiator blower fuse and replace it
when necessary. What causes the radiator blower fan fuse to blow? It's because
of a failing radiator blower motor, If that's the case have the radiator blower
fan motor replaced.
If the fluid in radiator doesn't circulate then it means
that you have a blown head gasket or a faulty water pump. I suggest that you go
for the water pump replacement first specially if you think that it's near the
end of it's service life. Usually, water pops out the radiator when engine is
reved (a sign of faulty water pump and possible blown head gasket).
Hope you find this information helpful enough and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
