It started running hot. Replaced water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, clutch fan now they found a pin hole in radiator. The water is not circulating and still running hot.

if there is a hole in radiator that has to be fixed because you wont build pressure in system. after it is fixed if still running hot have system pressure checked for leaks like a head gasket. also, it may need to be bled to get air out of system why you cannot see it moving.

Thanks! I have a 1997 Ford Truck. It has a 4.6 when it starts to change gears it loses power, cuts out. I took the gas tank off and cleaned it. It was filthy!
