car keeps heating up we have checked the radiator,hoses and tried to listen to water pump. it does not see to be leaking any where. we also checked the oil to make the head gaskets were not blown .it does not make any knocking noises either. it will go about 20 miles and then it heats up.

Hi there,

Replace the thermostat, have the radiator cleaned & flow tested and make sure the cooling fans a coming on.
