My 2006 equinox is overheating

Asked by GuruBNX7C Jan 06, 2019 at 03:07 PM about the 2006 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

We had the head gasket replaced
about two years ago. The other day it
wasn’t getting very hot. Husband
added coolant and it started
overheating. He just replaced the rad
thought that was the problem. Now it
really heated up. Now he’s gone to
see if he can get a thermostat. Any
ideas. I need my truck back.

After replacing thermostat make sure fans are coming on bleed air from cooling system like this remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on. If antifreeze starts to back up out of overflow tank bad head gasket.
