Default 4.2 overheating still
Hope this works having trouble posting and finding replies. Changed t'stat, fan clutch, coolant. Seems to run normal (15-20 mins. at idle) Took ride after 10 mins + - started overheating again. Checked oil cap for milkyness ( head gasket ) OK. Burped coolant by inclining and leaving overflow cap off. Seems like coolant is not circulating. Any ideas. Thanks

Well seems to me if the coolant ins't circulating, do you think maybe the water pump is bad?
