Hi Jimmy, welcome to 2CarPros..
Here is a link that explains how a cooling system works so you can understand what you are dealing with before you jump into it:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/engine-cooling-system
Then I will need some more information from you. Please be as detailed as you can.
1: Is the coolant full in the holding tank?
2: Does it run hot all the time or just when going slow or stopped?
3: Does your cooling fan come on when it is hot?
4: Are there numbers on your temperature gauge? If so what do they say for a temperature reading?
