Will my car overheat if I put a smaller radiator in it than the original a 97 Ford expedition XLT
What is your question?
I have recently we're place my thermostat water pump and radiator but the radiator that I put in the car it's not the same size as the radiator that came out and when I drive it and accelerate it is overheating and cooling is coming out of the cooling jug so what I wanted to know is is it overheating because I put a smaller radiator in it
What makes this problem better or worse?
It gets worse when I try to accelerate faster
How long has your 1997 Ford Expedition had this problem?
I have had this problem every since I changed the thermostat and put a smaller radiator into my 97 Ford expedition than the original radiator

Difficult to imagine the replacement radiator being smaller - that is provided it was the correct application..
Yes - a smaller radiator would have a tendency to create engine overheating.
