Car continues to overheat after thermostat and water pump change. Any suggestions?
What is your question?
Changed the thermostat and kept overheating so I noticed a small leak on the water pump so I changed it. Car continues to overheat. Water in the reservoir boils and blows out.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Driving any length of time.

Chances are you have cracked the head or have a blown head gasket.A hot engine does not like cold water added.Once a car has overheated once or twice it's too late to change a hose or water pump or thermostat.If motor has a misfire now or bubbles flying out overflow or radiator cap it's done and being a Chevy Cruise, it's not worth fixing really.
