Car overheating...
Car overheating... So after driving for a few hours I stopped for gas and once I got back on the road and the car temp was at 220 and I immediately pulled off the road and the gauge kept rising. I replaced the t stat and nothing changed so I will be replacing the radiator. If anyone has any tips anything specific about changing a radiator I would appreciate it. Thanks.

How high did it rise?
Did the needle go into the red while driving?
Do you have something that went up in front of the condensor like a bag or newspaper?
There's a bunch of things to check before you even spend a dime. A radiator change will do nothing unless its cracked and squirting coolant out of it.
You need to bleed the air out of the system. There will be a bleeder to release the air out of the system somewhere ( I cant remember where exactly). Once you do this the car should run just fine.
