Engine overheating

I took my car 2 a shop cause it keep overheating like of 15 mins of driving the fans kick n hard and the gage goes almost to the 3/4 mark.I had the water pump thermostat and the radiator flush and theres no leaks. He told me that it was the intake manifold gasket.I trying 2 see if that whats making it overheat so fast. Thats the first time I heard that 1

I purchased this vehicle two months ago from dealership in Columbia. Have driven locally to work, etc only about 20-25 miles per day max. No issues with the vehicle.

Took it on a trip to St Louis (120 miles). While driving to St Louis after about 1.5 hr the message "Overheated Transmission" appeared on Message Center with"E" on Transmission PRNDL indicator. We stopped the car and checked the manual. It says "turn off engine and let it cool".

After about half hour we were able to start the car. No message. We drove back to Columbia later in the evening, after 1 hr stopped in between for food. No message. Just when we reached Columbia about 1 hr after food stop the same message appeared again.

I checked the car Sunday morning and No message. The car runs fine with no unusual sound from transmission. No burning smell of oil, etc.

An oil change that included inspection was performed last Tuesday, 07 Oct at local Lincoln dealership (Joe Machens) and everything was fine!

I would appreciate your opinion on possible cause and future course of action

Thank you.

After having a new thermostat installed on my car ($440.00) for over-heating my car seemed to be ok for about 2 months. Then it overheated. I took it back to the shop and they told me that a code came back showing a bad cooling fan and wanted to charge an additional 900.00 to replace it. I didn't believe this was the problem so I left. The car seems to overheat about once every 2-3 months. I pull over, let it cool then continue on my way. But this week it has been overheating a lot. And the heat hasn't worked at "idle" all winter long. It is full of coolant and the fan is running as fall as I can tell. When it overheats, I check the coolant bottle and it isn't even that hot. Is it possible they put a faulty thermostat in my car that has gotten worse over time? Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

I'd say that there is an air pocket in the cooling system

MY CAR IS OVERHEATING AFTER AN HOUR OF USE I THINK ITS THE FAN. IT SEEMS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN ACCELERATING INSTEAD OF BLOWING FASTER.

i was wondering if its possible to replace my hydraulic fan for an electric one?

From what I have seen, it is not feasible as you would have to also remove the pump that runs the fan

I changed the thermostat and the water pump and the radiator flushed out and my car is still overheating. The hose from the thermostat to the bottom of radiator is cold, but the other side of the hoses to the radiator is hot. What could be the problem.3.9 engine. Plus 1 side of radiator is warm but the other side is cold

I got new thermostat water pump got the radiator flushed and my car is still overheating.I drive it 4 like 30 mins and the gage start creeping up to 3/4 mark. When I turn the car off u can hear like bubbling in the resovior tank I took it 2 the shop they say its not a head gasket. So can u help me out cause the shop has no clue. No leaks either.

I have a 2001 Lincoln LS V6, 3.0L. It keeps on overheating. I have replaced the water pump, coolant, thermostat, head temperature sensor and also flushed the system. It still overheats though and coolant bubbles out of the degas bottle when it overheats. Please can you give me a decent anwser someone?
