Runs Hot- Replaced EVERYTHING- HELP
Hi Guy- been researching all these threads for 2 days and a lot of great info but still have a problem.
2014 SS. Only 38K miles. Been maintained. Replaced waterpump, thermostat, radiator, radiator cap, temperature sensor and also did Block Test (stayed blue). So she is still running hot ��! What am I missing??? Maybe a Flush? Maybe thermostat is faulty? Fans work perfectly fine. Kicked on at 209 degrees. Help please. Last edited by SS-Girl; 04-26-2020 at 09:20 PM. Reason: was confusing |

Fans or air bubble coming to mind, maybe toss in a thermostat just because they are cheap and easy to do.

Hate to have to bring it up to Chevy. We are thinking more air bubbles. |

Sounds like you have air in the system.

How do the hoses feel when running at operational temperature?

What is the highest temp it is getting to? Before I was tuned (lowered fan temps) and installed the lower temp thermostat, I would get up to 215º in traffic or at lights. I ask because it may be normal if not getting higher than that. I sure does get hot down here.
Glad to see another Spring Hill member in here!

Today idle in driveway for a good 20 min she got up to 232. Took her for a spin around the block, went down for a moment and then creeped back up to 244. I immediately pulled over, turned off and let cool down for a moment. Came back home, stayed at 235. I'm going to replace the thermostat again. Something is telling me it's either that or more air in the system. |

Have you tried running the car without the radiator cap on?

Oh yea, that's definitely not normal.
As mentioned above, it sounds like an air pocket, as you have changed nearly everything. These cars can be notoriously stubborn to get the air out of. To bleed mine I usually let it sit and idle with the radiator cap off and keep topping off each time it lowers, keeping a very close eye on the temp gauge. Once I think I got it, I cap it off, let it idle a bit longer, and then take it out very close to home. I have had it take 30 mins to get everything out.
