They changed the thermostat cleaned the radiator and put on a new water pump they checked the whole flow system and found nothing wrong and we also tried a new radiator cap. It still overheats and pours out antifreeze. You can usually tell when its going to overheat b/c the heat inside gets cold like the a/c is on.

Could be a blown head gasket, or cracked head or block, have a block test done, this will tell you if any exhaust gases are present in the cooling system, A radiator pressure tester can also be used to check for a head gasket.
