My van ran hot and I replaced the termostat, radiator cap and temperature sensor. It was still running hot so I replaced the radiator and another cap, still ran hot so I replaced the head gaskets, guess what it is still running hot. Can you give me some idea of what to do next, I am ready to pull my hair out and then I would really be in trouble.

Does the cooling fan come on and then turn off after a few minutes or does it stay on? Does it boil over?

Yes the cooling fans kick on when the engine gets up to normal operating temperature and says there for about 10 or 15 mins then starts going on up. I don't know if it is water or air or what but when it gets hot there is alot of bubbling in the over flow resevior.
