Re: over heating

wouldnt it only have a overcooling problem if the thermostat was the problem and i removed it it should have solved the problem? in my old camaro i know i went through 2 or 3 heater valves but they leak when they go bad..... still stumped on this one im going to check in to see if my radiator is clogged or find other ways to open up more air flow to the radiator/engine this is really bothering me
