If the thermostat is easy to get to remove and put hose back on then run vehicle to see if it still runs hot. If it still overheats the radiator or or cooling ports in engine are clogged needs to be flushed and is the fan coming on ? Also may want to clean radiator coil fins with a garden hose a nozzle if clogged with dirt and bugs will restrict air flow across the coil.

If vehicle does not overheat with thermostat removed you may have installed the t- stat wrong or you just got hold of a bad new thermostat.

    Overheating issues, car overheated yesterday. Added some coolant now it's not overheating. I hear water when I step on the gas, it's coming from the dash. Could this be the reason it's overheating?

    My 2000 deville base is overheating. When it is overheating I turn the heater on full blast. The air coming from the vents is cold, almost like I have the ac on. What could cause this?
