Still overheating

Are the cooling fans coming on at operating temp?

Tell them to sniff out the radiator for hydrocarbons if its present your dealing with a crack head/blowngasket/block

The bloc check changes color when HC is present and the pressure test will make it violently fluctuate

Well, you're not leaking/No air in it/no slipping belt/radiator not clogged/Fan clutch good/Radiator cap checks out and all those stuffs were changed. Makes me believe on what I've mentioned.

Could also be a problem with:
Bad new thermostat
Improper coolant mixed
Clogged exhaust system
Retarded or advance Ignition timing
Dragging brakes ( Caliper sticking and parking brake not releasing)

These two tests bloc chek and pressure test are use to ID an internal leak causing overheating problems.

You had complained about no heat, does it have heat now? If not flush the heater core, if you do it would sound like the head gasket.

Ok lets get back to basics. It could be the thermastat, ihave known new thermastats be bad, just because they are new does not mean the work everytime. To check start the engine let it warm up
feel the top return line from the engine to the radiator. You should be able to feel when the thermastat opens the hose will get warm, at that time check the temp guage. Some thermastats even new ones sometimes don't open all the way limiting the circulation.

You need to go back and tell them local boys to restudy the causes of overheating and finish the job or go somewhere else.

In todays auto repair it cost an arm and leg-here we need donation to keep this website going-Money Money/Money!

Good Luck!

Who knows maybe there's nothing wrong with the pump to begin with-got misdiagnosed. Radiator might as well replace it get the problem over with.

Would take it back to where you had the radiator flushed the first time, and see what they say?

Well isn't this a puzzle. I really wouldn't suspect a head gasket unless you got the car extremly hot like to the point of (red peg) has any one put a pressure test on the cooling system to see if it is looseing water somewhere?
It sounds to me like there is an airlock in the system or maybe someone installed the wrong water pump this didn't start till this work was done maybe the impler on the water pump was the wrong one from the rebuilder and it is pushing the water the wrong way?
Also have you been looseing water and how much? I wouldn't replace the radiator till I was real certian that there wasn't a worse problem. Seems to me like the radiator was working ok before the pump job. 8) NOS
