Thread: Overheating, but not overheating

I replace the tank, myself, do u think the motor cylinder might have a crack or could it be the water pump

Besides during start up do you have white exhaust smoke?

bad radiator cap? thermostat failing? water pump isn't leaking? check any signs of leakage from coolant lines.

wait. wait... Is your car overheating??? Just because coolant is boiling out of your overflow/coolant tank doesn't mean it is over heating. Has your stock temp gauge moved at all during these trips? If not, than you just don't have the proper level of coolant in your system and some will boil off, and upon start up, it'll suck more into the system emptying the tank. It took my car about 5 days to get all the air out of the...
