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.

Just sell it. That's the solution just sell it. Its broken and not worth it. Air bubbles are the death of everything. Sell it or part it out
You wont read this since you now know this is a camaro/firebird board lol

Did you bleed the system for about 20 minutes (fully warmed up)? If it's not 100% bled then there will be air pockets in the system causing over heating. I also recommend replacing the radiator cause it's probably caked with crap.

Re: Overheating

Get a third gen Camaro, or a Firebird pal.
