I was heading to work one day and while on the highway i saw thick white smoke behind, checked the heat guage....HOT. Puled over and had it towed back home. The radiator was cracked. Changed radiator, thermostat, even water pump. Still overheats. Nex day it wont even start. It tries to crank but it wont turn over. What could it be?

Could be hydrolocked-remove all sparkplugs and crank engine over see if coolant comes out if so you got a problem with the headgasket/crack head or block.
