187,000 approximate miles, 6.6L 403 engine....cannot seem to fix overheating problem. Bought the car, drove it home and it was steaming. Flushed and cleaned the radiator, overfill, and refilled with new coolant. car ran good for a few days then overheated again. Replaced thermostat and thermostat housing. Now it steams badly around the thermostat housing and noticed alot of pressure in upper hose. Also appears that the coolant is "stuck" in the thermostat housing. Is this a bad water pump or is this a lost cause? please help!
