Gauge shows overheating. Changed the thermostat and sensor but it never overheats. Not losing water, not boiling, steaming or any signs of overheating. Gauge reads overheating. Stalls out sometimes when driving. Can drive a few miles or up to 30 something.

Hello,

It sounds like you can have one of two problems, first is the cooling fans coming on? and if yes then I would think the radiator is plugged internally or externally.

Here is a guide to help you do some checking,

Please let us know what you find.
