Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
 

Yes, I took the cap off after the car sat overnight. I ran it for a total
of 45 minutes. Yes, I put my finger in the COOLANT, and yes it was warm
but no where near hot. The gauge temp was about 205, even after 45 mins no
hotter , and no detectable flow. I assume the coolant in the nec (where
the cap goes) would be gurggling or bubbling, etc if there was flow. The
coolant was even, and not disturbed.

I have not checked the spots on the four corners, as you cannot get to it.

I have no way to know this. I can't look at it or hear it at 75 mph.

First when the engine overheats is the clutch fan engaging?
