Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
Not the lower hose. If it was the hose it would flow at idle. Try the
thermostat first, but my money is on the radiator.

Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
Yeah but the OP is experiencing "overheating" ONLY at higher RPMs which
could be a restriction and YES AFAIK it could be a collasping lower hose at
the higher RPMs. Couldn't it be?
And who says it is not flowing. It could be that the flow is low and the
heated coolant does not make it to the neck where the OP sticks his finger.
8^) Although the OP says that the coolant/water is warm there.
Remember that the engine is not overheating even after idling for over 45
minutes. So AFAIK it has to flow through the radiator.
That is why I asked if the corners of the radiator got hot and was told
those areas were not accessible. :-(

Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
Replace 'no flow' with 'low flow'. If you can't see coolant moving through
the neck, it's not flowing properly. Bottom line. I had the same exact
problem with a different car. New radiator, no problem.
OP. Fix this all ready and get back to us.

the neck, it's not flowing properly. Bottom line. I had the same exact
problem with a different car. New radiator, no problem.
OP. Fix this all ready and get back to us.

Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
Replace 'no flow' with 'low flow'. If you can't see coolant moving through
the neck, it's not flowing properly. Bottom line. I had the same exact
problem with a different car. New radiator, no problem.
OP. Fix this all ready and get back to us.

Mileage does not determine need to replace it, it is the quality of
coolant that has been maintained in it that does. I have a 50 year old
original raditor in a old tractor that is still clean. I got it off of
second owner 22 years ago that had always maintianed a higher
antifreeze to water ratio and I have had it at 70/30 and above since I
got it. My 89 Burb has never been flushed since I got it new and it is
still clean as a whistle and even the overflow tank is spotless. It
has no cooling iusses in any temp or load still and it has had 70/30
in it since shortly after I got it.
