About a month ago I decided to change coolant in radiator, I flushed out system until water was basically clear I did use a product from auto part store for flushing systems . I refilled it with new coolant a week later temp gauge was going up and down and very little heat. After turning off engine I heard gurgling sounds from the overflow tank and the cover blew open coolant everywhere. Coolant was'nt hot it was luke warm top hose was cold . I was told there could be air in the system purged air out no change . So I ended up buying a new radiator/new thermostat problem corrected. Last week back to the same problem no heat temp gauge works when it wants to doesnt overheat. top hose not hot barely warm. There are no leaks I can see checked, the oil looks fine dosent look like baby shit no smell of antifreeze exhust is normal just condensation while warming up no antifreeze. I did change the spark plugs it was needed they were fine for being in the truck for 3yrs or more. I seriously at a loss over this dont know what else could be wrong all I can figure is the themo is defective even being brand new but what are the chances of that? Sorry for the long story just wanted to explain everything. Any help on this matter would be appreciated thanks
