Clogged Radiator?

[Turbosleeper]

Ok so as most people know now, my car has been overheating. I've done the waterpump as well as the tstat and it still boils over. I've flushed out heater core and rad I had thought but yesterday after drivig and my car overheating I noticed my top rad hose was boiling hot andy bottom hose was ice cold. Is that normal? I have ran a hose through the top rad and it came out bottom so now I dnt get what's going on?

Bottom hose is suppose to be cooler but not stone cold that means its taking the heat out of coolant, did you do a pressure test, it really sound like you have a headgasket issue. Did you try running the car without tstat, I have gotten bad tstats out of the box, also do you hear the whoosh after the car is warm and untightening the radiator cap to make sure you arent bleeding pressure.

I havent done a pressure test.

Im thinking maybe i have alot of air in system because the bottom rad hose is cold cold cold.

what happens if i run without a tstat?

my car wont warm up then right?

Buy a freaking block tester kit already. I went through the exact same thing as you. In denial that my HG was bad. Go to Napa, or just go to amazon.com and order a block leak tester kit. It will confirm whether or not your HG is bad.
