Changed radiator, car ran hot, thinking its the thermostat stuck closed.
I read some some of the answers that were given to another person question about this same Vehicle and changing out the thermostat

I WOULDA STARTED THERE FIRST!

CHANGING THE 11 YEAR OLD RADIATOR, CAN GET CHALKED UP AS "PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE"

THERE MAY BE OTHER POSSIBILITIES ALSO, LIKE THE COOLING FAN(S) NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, LET'S HOPE IT'S NOT A HEAD GASKET ISSUE!

DO LET US KNOW IF THE THERMOSTAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM!
