Re: overheating as well Have you checked the rubber seal on the radiator cap? Might as well check the easy stuff first.

Re: overheating as well The upper radiator hose should get pressurized when the system gets hot. A functioning radiator cap is supposed to let pressure build to a certain point and then open to let coolant into the overflow.
What is going on with your car as far as front mount and cooling fans?

Re: overheating as well Yeah dude run with out a thermostat if you still over heat you have a bad pump clogged something. Just run without one like they told me and you can rule some stuff out. I never did it but my over heating is very minimal and I mean minimal nothing serious. Im still going to run without a thermostat to see what happens. When you put in your thermostat there is a jiggle thing on it make sure its up top that can also cause it to overheat so I read.
