Overheating

2007 Dodge Magnum is overheating did a coolant flush on 04/17/18 couldn't get the air bubbles out the lines. Changed the thermostat housing 04/17/18. Pressure is still building in the coolant lines backing up in the reservoir.

Re: Overheating

You're not gonna get a lot of help here, as this is a 82-92 Camaro and Firebird forum. ....that being said I'd start by removing the thermostat entirely and confirm that the coolant is actually flowing through the system.

Good luck.
