Engine Cooling problem
1992 Chevy S-10 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 92 Chevy S10 Blazer 4 WD 6 cylinder 4.3L Automatic trany. I am having overheating problems; I had to replace the Radiator (17 yrs old) so I also replaced the top hose, thermostat and the cap. The overheating started after replacing everything before it just had A hole it didn’t get hot. Have I forgot to do something?
Thank you for your time Damita

Check to be sure thermostat is properly installed. An upside down thermostat won't open. Visualy inspect fan shroud for missing or broken segments or mounting tags at bottom not properly slotted, that will allow air leakage. 3rdly, you may have been sold the wrong radiator cap.

I hope this helps you.
