try replacing the waterpump if that ain't it you may have a blown head gasket.

OK first and foremost if you start your engine from a cold state the engine will and can not get up to 260 in 5 minutes. That is physically impossible. With the engine cold, remove radiator cap, slow. Start the engine and check for flow, if it's moving a little raise the engine speed just a little, it should move fairly fast. If this checks out put the cap back on and stop the engine. Do this as quick as possible so as not to raise engine temp. If during this check the coolant flows up and out of radiator stop the engine, let it cool and refill. With the cap in place restart the engine and let the engine run for the 5 minutes, check the top radiator hose to see if it's hard as a rock, if the engine gets hot and the hose is hard as a rock stop the engine, you mat have a blown head gasket. Find a shop you can trust and have it tested properly.
Be VERYYYYYYYYY care full, you can get hurt very severally.
Good luck and let me know how you make out, Rick D.

put a new stat back in .. right away. otherwise the radiator doesnt have time to cool the water. the radiator is probably the problem anyway. feel the bottom of the radiator. if it is not nearly as hot as the top of the radiator. here in lies your problem. send rad to a rad repair shop .. see if they can ( rod out /metal tanks only) or power chemical flush. to clean it and restore its normal flow of water through it..since removing stat. could be air pocket inside block. which is preventing water from entering cooling ports. ...be careful not to get scalded turn face away when opening rad cap.........E

When the engine is cool or cold, take off radiator cap. Start engine and look inside and see if the water or coolant is circulating. If it rises and over flows then it's the water pump. More likely that's the problem.

it rather is probable no longer what you prefer to pay attention yet tanning is amazingly undesirable on your epidermis. you're able to look solid for some weeks once you're youthful, yet once you're older and your epidermis is wrinkled and broken from the sunlight you will understand what a bad thought it became. in case you're able to flow out interior the sunlight, use passable quantities of sunscreen each hour or so and attempt wearing a hat.
