My vehicle listed above overheating had codes read said thermostat. Changed still overheats. No leaks. Thinking it is the water pump.

Good evening,

What were the codes? Codes do not identify bad parts, just failed systems.

This could be a water pump but needs to be tested to see if there is circulation.

Did you check the cooling fan motor to see if it is working?
