Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your F-150. It's very possible that air could be trapped in the cooling system after replacing components like the water pump and thermostat. If air pockets are present, they can prevent coolant from circulating properly, leading to overheating. Bleeding the system is important to ensure no air in the lines. You can try parking on an incline and running the engine with the heater on to help remove air bubbles. If that doesn't resolve the issue, consider checking for other problems like a clogged radiator, a malfunctioning radiator cap, or even a blown head gasket, which can cause similar overheating symptoms.
