We have replaced the water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, this is the 3rd radiator, the heater core,and hoses, sending unit for the heat sensor, intake manifold seal, flushed the radiator and still it
overheats, to the point of "puking" . When in the car you can hear the water circulating thru the heater core, if you take the radiator cap off (when cool) and let the car run for a while you can see the antifreeze rotating. Liquid in the canister sometimes even boils. The thermostat on it now is the 2nd one in a week. If you notice the tempurature gauge rising, we can turn on the heat and it lowers the temp on the gauge and keeps it from overflowing. I don't want to blow up or seize the engine, so we drive it very little. We bought the vehicle from the orginial owner, it now has about 182,000 miles on it. We have also replaced transmission, brake booster, ball joints, and several other smaller items. It looks good and runs good and strong, when not overheating.
