Hello,

No. If you have replaced the thermostat and your vehicle is still overheating the next thing that should be changed out is the water pump. Here is a generic link explaining how to replace a water pump, for reference, down below:

I changed the water pump about 3 years ago. I don't that's the problem but it could be.

If I may, when the car is over heating do you hear the radiator cooling fans running, is the coolant full? Here is a guide to help us fix the problem:
