Is there a bleed off valve on the coolant system for this model and engine?
What is your question?
Recently changed radiator and fan assembly. At an idle temp is normal, but just a few moments of driving the engine overheats and I get engine overheat warning on the instrument cluster. The fans are working properly, upper and lower radiator hoses are hot but the radiator itself is cool to the touch, as if no coolant is flowing through it.

There was no problem before I had to change the fan assmbly or radiator, o e of the fan blades broke and gouged holes in the radiator. Just wondering, how would that affect the thermostat?
Coolant acts as a lubricant for moving t-stat parts .. Coolant was lost .. T-stat may be sticking. Why does anything stop working at any given time? .. It is an online best guess.. I have to assume if it was an air pocket issue that should take care of itself since the coolant fill is @ highest point... Make sure coolant level is still full after vehicle sits overnight... Good luck with it! â–ªï¸https://repairpal.com/repair-shopsâ–ªï¸
