ls1 over heating Ok, So I noticed my third gen swapped Ls1 overheating in traffic to nearly 260 degrees, and my temp gauge wouldn't even work until the car got to over 200 so degrees. I take the car home and change out the thermostat/ and changed the radiator fluid and it didn't even read the temp at the gauge after seeing if that would fix it. I took the cap off to bleed the system after letting run for about 20 mins while adding water I still had no reading on temp gauge. I changed the coolant sensor and the connector to sensor NOW my gauge works but my car is overheating very fast now. I drove it about a mile and it got over 260.
Also, when I changed the radiator fluid I didnt drain it from the engine plugs..
thank you in advance if anyone can help me.. I'm thinking its the water pump now..
